    Hmm strange.
    Just had a look at mine.
    You take the metal ring off and the glass part should come out and then on the back the globe just clips in.
    You will have 2 wires as well. The black one which is attached to the metal back and a white wire that goes into a connector surrounded by insulation stuff.
    The globe is actually a H3 bulb.

    You take it off by pulling on the blue cord connected to the bulb. It comes apart underneath the white stuff just bellow the zip-tie in the second pic.

    ^^^^ What he said.
    The wire is soldered onto the bulb. the actual bulb doesn't come out of the mount.
