I'm pretty sure all you have to do is disconnect the clip so all you have to do is turn them and they should come right out simple as that

What year is your coupe? I have the HIDs and the balast for the hids are mounted underneath the headlight; held on by 3 3/8' screws. When you remove the balast, there is a tan clip with safety latches on each side of the clip. when you un hook them, the harness can be safely and easily separated from the balast. Good luck.

If you're still haveing problems, post up pics of the problem..
