XF Headlight bulb stuck
I have a 2015 Jaguar XF Luxury 2.2D (UK) and the passenger side Xenon headlight bulb has gone. Sods law it's the side hidden behind the air filter box. So I removed the box and intake, as well as the twist off lid over the bulb housing. So far so good. But I can't get the bulb and its mount off and out of the headlight unit. I tried what should have been a quarter twist counter-clockwise but its not budging. I phoned the local Jag dealership who said there's nothing else I should be doing. They agreed that a simple left twist then pull should be it. Interestingly, I tried the driver's side one as well, and that doesn't budge either.
Anyone had the same issue?
How did you fix it?
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Or else just remove the light assemblies from the car, doable but not easy on the "facelift" XF as you need to drop the front bumper to access the third bolt.

My XFS and XFR didn't have any such collars (and they used D1S globes) but my F-Type has the collars and it uses D3S globes, same as the facelift XF.
