Yes they can be hard to change. There are 2 pressure points on the plug that you need to squeeze before it will come off the bulb. Once the plug is off you rotate the bulb about 1/4 turn and it comes out.

If you have some channel locks it makes it much easier to squeeze the clips and turn the bulb.

Good luck !
