Default Trouble with civic 2005 headlight bulb replacement

I'm sure there are a good many of these posts about headlight bulb replacement, but i do know how to do this but for some reason i'm having trouble twisting the thing that holds the bulb, im not sure why but i would like a bit of help, if there is anyway to loosen these things, and is there an easier way to change the driver side, i mean, really, why put the power steering fluid and the windshield fluid right there, its insane.

isn't it a clip that holds it on? and you have to unclip it
and yea, the only other alternative is to remove the headlight and do it like that. the power steering reservoir should be able to move out of the way a little.

try going in through the wheel well
just loosen the screw that holds it to the body and reach your hand up there and pop it out
really easier that way
