Anyone have any other info on this? I read somewhere that some of these are just a pull to remove (friction fit) type thing.

Headlight bulbs? It's a ridiculously complex task.
- jack up vehicle - remove front wheel/tire - remove wheel liner (make sure you have replacement plastic rivets because they're not reusable) - remove plastic cover in back of light - get your hand in there and disconnect the bulb connector - by feel alone, flip up the metal spring clip - scrape up your arm and hand, remove the bulb - reverse for installation Not friction fit; a metal clip retains the bulb in the projector.

As for the spring retainer clip, that is for the early pre-LCI models. LCI models are different (which is the purpose of this thread). After more research, it looks like they do have to be turned CCW to remove.

I have a LCI. I didn't know how to replace them going in. I looked at it from the engine bay and determined that it was a no go. I couldn't even see the back of light. Baby hands might be able to feel around there, I suppose.
Decided to remove the wheel well liner and was committed before I knew it. Found the access marginally better. I could barely get the bulb in there from below without scraping the envelope and being afraid of cracking the return wire insulation. Maybe I'll look closer next time as I want to install Osram Night Breaker Unlimited bulbs. They're D1S so you're correct about the lack of a clip.
