After many videos and read threads I found my way to get to replace the burned bulbs.
Long story short, the previous owner or mechanic who worked on the car completely destroyed both mechanisms so I had to apply some brute force in order to properly remove them.

Please keep in mind,
1. For the right headlight
- I had slightly moved the vacoom pump away so I can access it easier.
- Using some pliers remove the OEM "conical" screw, a bit of brute force does the job.
2. For the left headlight,
- The previous "mechanic/owner" didn't know how the mechanisc works, so by forcing it the bold lost it's hexagonal shape. I had to break the whole "conical" screw so I can properly unscrew it.




Hope it helps all folks out there :)

Oh the joys of fixing something after Magilla Gorilla has worked on it.
