Default Fitting new headlight bulbs

Just purchased my scooby this weekend (MY99 Turbo) and managed to change the side repeaters, sidelights, etc, without any trouble but purchased some new xenon bulbs and cant manage to work out how to get the old bulbs out. Ive disconneted the black rubber connector from the back and presume it just twists out but wont seem to budge and i dont want to break anything.

Has anyone got any advice?

Just did mine yesterday.
Take out the black rubber connector from the back.
Then the big black round rubber bit just peels off. Pull it from the bottom.
Then once that has been removed you have full access to the bulb. It is held in with a metal clip.

hope this helps.

I'll Clarify that mate,
Fitted new bulbs myself yesterday, Use a screwdriver and just lever rubber back towards engine then it does indeed just slide off, To put back on just slide back over and press firmly all the way around
