No you can put the holder back into the headlight, quarter of a turn and leave it be. Handling the glass directly can damage and or reduce the bulbs lifetime. Use vinyl or latex gloves or tissue paper. This IS Important, DO NOT handle the glass of the bulb. To remove the sidelight bulb holder ( the one underneath W5W on the above picture) Turn the plastic holder a quarter of a turn and pull up and out.

The Red arrow is a compromise of both, its at an angle that clears the shape of the grill but still provides enough upwards angle to remove the the light from the clip. HOWEVER, not possible if you look at the green circle, the shape of the grill and headlight DO NOT allow the direction. The Yellow Arrow is the direction the clip would most likely to be removed at This picture (below) will hopefully explain the necessary angle needed to lift the light. Here is is again with the headlight removed - Don't worry I'll get to the removal part, you haven't missed anything. Its basically a bigger version of the clip that holds your bonnet arm.

The Headlight is anchored in with little tabs on the headlight itself I removed mine with thumb and fingers of my left hand.
