Remove the bulb retaining ring by rotating it counterclockwise (when viewed from the rear) to free it from the bulb socket, and slide the ring off the plastic base. Keep the ring to retain the new bulb. 5. Without turning, remove the old bulb from the lamp assembly by gently pulling it straight back out of the lamp assembly.
