YES IT IS THE TWISTED METAL THING I'M HAVING ABSOLUTELY NO LUCK IN GETTING BACK INTO PLACE...HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THAT..I KNOW THE TWISTED 'PIN' HOLDS THE BULD IN PLACE,BUT WOW JUST REDICULOUS THAT THEY WOULD USE THAT FOR HOLDING THIS BULB IN PLACE..UNBELIEVABLE.
thanks johnny5846 this is exactlyi needed the info i needed to get it back in the right way...thanks a million..
ok , assuming you didn't unscrew the whole "twisted metal thingy" . it hinges at the top , place your bulb into its slot, it does have to be exact to fit right , there is a tab on the bulb , make sure it is aligned , swing the twisted metal thingy down it will contact the bulb , with 1 finger push the end of the thingy lol , under the piece that is staionary at the bottom of the light assy , and let go , if your lucky it will lock , if not try again , it is very stupid i agree , good luck .

is it the twisted wire thing your having a problem with or unpluging the bulb ?
the locking mechanism is like a saftey pin , push in at the bottom of that wire and tilt to one side or the other , it will come out from under its little tab , its stupid , then the clip will hinge out of the way , getting it back together is even more fun , holding the bulb in place and re locking the pin .
