pull the rubber boot back from the headlight assembly, unplug the WHITE wire coming from the bulb. There is a wire retaining bracket, hinged on one side (narrow) and 2 tab latches on the other. Push the tabs toward the front of the bike and in towards each other. The bulb has a white wire leading to a small round base. At this point you can pull the base and bulb out.

If it's stuck at this point, I would assume a small amount of corrosion. Try a pair of needle nose pliers to get a good grip on the base where the WHITE wire attatches. Hope this helps!
