I need help changing my high beam bulbs I've replaced the headlights inside but I can't seem to get the wiring connector out of the bulb for high beam

Can you take a picture?
I haven't touched my high beams, likely since I was an apprentice, I had a VP back then but it is similar.
I can't even remember what the bulb is, I think it is a H3 maybe, I don't think they had H7.
They're an interesting light, as they run dual highs with the H4 and the extra high.

Pretty sure all Commodores do that. Certainly VP did. Certainly VY and VZ.

Low spec is high/low + high
High spec (with projectors) is Low+High.

Have a look and see if there is a screwed on cover. I vaguely remember it needing screws undone to access it.

Failing that @vs-lover still has his VS and he is probably the most knowledgeable person I know regarding the workings of a VS.

There’s a cap on the top that gets unscrewed.
