SOURCE: trying to replace a front headlight bulb on 2001 acura 3.2 TL
Look for the end of the wire retainer clip. Unhook it and lift it up. Remember not to touch the bulb. But if you do, just clean it with a bit of alcohol.
btw - Here's a bit of info from a previous post of mine...
The low beams consist of three parts. The bulb, inverter/ballast and
the ignitor. The bulbs usually start to loose their color long before they burn out.
The inverters/ballasts either go out after a while or take a while to
start up.
Before you spend money on a new bulb, try swapping it with the one on
the other side. You'll need a security torx screwdriver to get the
covers off of the back of the lights. Don't touch the glass bulbs. If you do, just clean them with a bit of alcohol.
If the problem stays on that
side, try swapping the ignitors. They're mounted inside the black
covers.
If the problem is still on that side you've got a bad inverter. They're
mounted on the bottom of the headlight assembly. You'll need to remove
the front bumper and remove the headlight assembly to get to it. (I
recommend you take pictures as you remove things so can put them back
together correctly.)

You need to replace your IAC (idle air control valve). The IAC, like it sounds, control the idle of your car. When they go bad they will cause the low idle and stalling. The IAC is located on the throttle body and is usually held on with a couple of screws. It is an easy relatively cheap fix that you can take care of by yourself. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks for rating my response and for using FixYa!
