Default 850 headlight replacement

I have a 1995 850 GLT. I think I can figure this out, but wanted to ask before I broke something. I located the plastic circular casing that houses the low beams, as well as the one that houses the high beams.

I can also see that there are tight tabs holding in the lights.

1 - how do I get these tabs loose without breaking them?

2 - I assume once I do that, the light will just pop out with a tug.

Can someone verify this is what I need to do? Thanks!

Are you just trying to replace the headlight bulb?If so once you remove the plastic cover there should either a metal clip.If the bulb is all metal then there should be a metal clip that needs to be released.If the bulb looks like it is all plastic.Then the bulb just turns to be released.
