All you need is a phillips head screwdriver. There are 3 screws holding the shroud surrounding the lights. Take them off and then slide your hand behind the light and find the bulb. Twist the bulb and pull it out from behind the light.
Remove the bulb from the harness and plug in the new bulb. Be careful not to touch the bulb with your fingers. Twist the new bulb back in the housing and repeat for the other side.
Very easy and takes 10 minutes.

Adjusting the lights are a PIA. You need a torx wrench #15 I believe. The one that comes with your CLB kit works perfectly. Do a search on aiming them if you need to...it's hard to discribe but there are posts about it.

There probably are links to this online but there already are photographs and instructions on how to change the bulbs in your owner's manual and that certainly is online if it's not in your car.
However, as above, it's "simply" a case of removing the bezel and changing the bulbs. The "simply" may depend on the size of your hands though. Likewise, aiming the headlamps is pretty much a standard operation too.
