I was able to snake my arm down through the engine compartment to reach the light bulb socket. You need to turn the bulb CCW about 1/4 turn to get it out of its socket, then detach the bulb from the connector. Have your replacement bulb pre-positioned next to the old bulb so you don't have to snake your arm in twice.

Good luck...it's tight and will probably cost you some skin

I opened the head lights, then I took out the front hood adjustment screw. This made alot more room to put my hand and arm in. I changed them both in less than 10 minutes.
