Turn on the headlights and back off one position to kill the lights.
Unscrew the 3 small screws on the black plastic housing around the headlight. Gently pull the housing clear. Reach down around the headlight unit and release the bulb holder. It unscrews counter clockwise but it has a plastic clip which you need to squeeze to release it. Change the bulb. Reseat the bulb holder and turn until it clicks back in place. Put the plastic housing back in place making sure to locate the small plastic tab in the bracket on the headlamp cover. Replace the 3 screws and close the lights.
10 minute job.

If you have small hands and arms you can raise the headlight with the manual ***** and remove the black headlight trim and reach down to remove the bulbs. If your hands and arms are large you'll need to go in through the bottom access panels.....or have your wife or GF do it for you

My hands are not very small and I went through the headlight just fine. I also used the manual **** in case the headlight wanted to retract for some strange reason. It was easy and you can see what you are doing as opposed to the vent method.

Wow... u guys must all have too big of hands. I can change either bulbs in about two minutes a side. The duct under the fog lights and corner lights, i push that out of the way and I can snake my hand right into that hole and get to the bulbs and turn them loose. I've had to change em out about three times since i've owned the car and that's exactly how i do em every time. Takes less than five minutes total for both sides.
