2 10mm bolts on the inside side of each headlamp (get at facing radiator) 1 phillips screw on the outside of each headlamp (get at it straight down). pop side marker out, pull inside of headlamp out and push assembly towards outside of car.

take the bulb out and hold it upside down and slowly move it.. eventually you will get all the piece of the bulb out
just don't shake it fast or you might scratch the inside of the housing with the broken glass

To get headlight off unbolt these 2 10mm screws.
The perfect place to put screws so they don't get lost.
Slide the whole headlight assembly to the outside of the car about 2 inches. there is a set of tabs that hold the back end to the car.
Place a rag or towel on the front bumper and rotate headlight assembly forward(rag keeps you from scratching the lens)
twist bulb to the left, line up tabs and pull out bulb.
Its 45 degrees outside and I am in my boxers! hope this helps
