Had to do that on a 2016 RAV4 a few months back.

Blood thinners are no help.

I had no such issues with sealed beams, just a screwdriver to remove the chrome ring, remove assembly, install sealed beam, adjust headlight against the garage door. Fini!

The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
