I think all you have to do in twist the ring to the left. It should disengage the bulb and plug from the lens assembly and then you should be able to pull the bulb out of the plug. Reverse the procedure to re-install but be careful not to touch the bulb or it won't last long.

I changed mine out in December but don't remember doing anything special. Maybe I've just done it too much and I don't remember the finer points. Sorry.

OK, I found an old bulb in the garage. On the flat side of the plug there's a little tab on the bulb. That means there will be a plastic retainer that fit over the tab. You may have to use a small screwdriver to carefully pry the retainer up so you can wiggle the bulb out of the plug. IIRC the first time I did mine they were a bugger.
