Default 93 accord - how to change bulbs

sorry, I know this is a pretty stupid question, but how do you change the headlight bulbs (lowbeam)?, I havent done it yet, and don't have my manual, but basically here's the deal, I took a look, and saw that theres that round black piece, which I assume you have to turn, and then the bulb pops out? am I right or wrong? I sat there for a long time, and couldn't figure out how to turn that black piece that seems to hold the bulb in the headlamp housing, any help would be greatly appreciated~!

thanx, yea, I tried turning it, and it was crazy tight and wouldnt' budge,so I thought that there might be a special way (push turn, tug turn, etcetc), I'll try a screwdriver later, heheh

what I did in order to put my silverstars in was remove the battery and move coolant reservoir aside. That way I had more room to twist the black round piece. Make sure you get a good grasp of the whole black piece and apply force counter-clockwise. Pulling the bulb out of the socket also requires a bit of force and tuggin as well.

just use a long flathead screwdriver, but you gotta be careful on the passenger side where the battery can get in the way.

I have no idea why those things are on so tight, but I just used an adjustable wrench to grab ahold of it and turn it.
