It's just a clip that holds it in.

You loosened the reflector?  :-/ Does that mean you've broken the plastic adjuster? If your reflector is now loose & swivels up & down easily, I would think you have  :(

Each side of the clip is hooked under a hook either side of the lamp/bulb.

not an Omega & not quite the same, but the idea is the same.  :y

Sorry. Wrong car  then. ;D Don't they just pull out, the clip bit being part of the headlamp itself, Mr Haynes says to 'Carefully press down the rear of the bulb, until it releases from its retaining clips'

This is the ordinary main beam lamp you want to remove? 
You're not sticking your tongue out far enough then. Just been out to the car, removed & refitted within a minute. As Mr Haynes says, push downward at the back, I left it plugged in, and it unclips quite easily.  :y :y :y
