Ok, this is my first time doing this, so please talk to me like I’m a first grader. I cannot unhook the headlight bulb holder so that I can replace my headlight bulb. How do I do this? Pictures are appreciated since I clearly can’t just read and figure it out from my owners manual.

Glad you got it sorted. Getting that wire un-hooked can be a pain until you actually see how it works.

The biggest problem was my middle aged eyes! I couldn’t see the hook until I nearly put my nose on it.
The absolute best way to check this all out the first time is to remove the entire headlight assembly. It's only 4 bolts! All from the front. Then just unplug the wire harness and you can lay it on the bench on a towel and really see how it all fits together. Makes doing it by the side of the road, at night, in the rain, waaay easier at some point down the road. :cool:

Lets you see the crazy angle on the indexing too.
