It's relatively simple to do but there are a good handful of steps involved;
- Open the hood. Unplug the large headlight motor connector next to the headlight door (for safety). Manually raise the headlight by turning the **** on the headlight motor. Eventually it will raise up.
- Remove the philips screws holding the black headlight surround dust cover. The dust cover pulls outwards from the front once the screws are removed and there is a protrusion that notches under the body colored headlight door (if it's broken or missing it won't ultimately affect operation).
- Unplug the headlight connector from whichever headlight you're trying to replace (low beam will be on the "outside")
- Remove the headlight bulb by turning the bulb counter-clockwise in it's housing. Pull out.
Shouldn't take you more than around five minutes to do.

The answers are very different ....use YouTube to view the video and ask the question. On a "C5 Corvette change a headlight bulb".

Do a "Google" search..."C5 Corvette headlight bucket removal". That will direct you to the YouTube video on how to do the removal.
P.S. Its pretty simple.....take off the plastic surround (three Philips screws) and reach in...three bolts, that's it.
P.P.S. ....PM me if you need "details" (open hood, open headlights etc.)
