Default Changing headlights bulbs C5 (Done!Thanks Everyone)

Ok i've done a search for changing the headlight bulbs in my 2000 C5 with no luck. Could someone please point me in the right direction. All i need to do is change the low beam bulbs.
Thanks
FYI-What the forum needs is a DIY section. What do ya think?

Someone had step by step instructions here several months ago. They sure helped me when I switched to SilverStars.

To get the bulb out you must keep the light in the off position and closed other wise you will not be able to get ur hand in there. But fist remove the black cover by turning the light on in the upright position and remove the three phillips screws and pull forward. It comes right out. Once you do that close the light and try and get your hand behind the light its really tight so if you have large hands try and get someone with smaller ones. The low beam its the out side bulb and the high is the inside so when ur hands in there feel for the first plug once you do that go a little futher to the second and give a slight twist in both directions im not sure which way is correct. Only will loosen if twisted correctly and pull out. Its very simple the hardest part is fitting your hand in there. I hope this helps.
