Default 2011 Sonata Limited 2.0t Headlamp Replacement

I purchased Hoen H8 "Endurance" (Yellow) bulbs to replace the OEM White Fog Lamps. Have installed but not had a chance to evaluate them yet. I now have purchased Philips "Vision Plus" H7 bulbs to replace the OEM Low Beam headlights.
Has anyone replaced their low beams? I noticed that the OEM bulbs are held by some type of "clip". Is this what locks the bulb in place? I do not want to removed the original lamp without knowing what I'm doing. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, that is correct.

The info/pics in the following threads might help:

Default Low Beam Replacement

Thanks. The passenger side was a little tricky as they had the "clip" intertwined with the two wires on the female socket. Took a little doing. Driver's side went with no problems. Thanks........
