Gotta be careful.

With the key in the 'on' position (don't need to actually start the car), turn on the headlights so they pop up.

Then, turn the key off so the lights turn off, but don't turn the knob back off, as they will pop back down.

There is a screw at the bottom of the black assembly around the light itself. Remove the screw, and the black thing should pop off.

Now, there are three screws you need to remove from the retaining ring around the light itself. One at the top, and two on either side at the bottom, evenly spaced. Remove these three, and make sure you don't accidentally take out the 2 aiming screws, or you will have to take it to a shop and have the headlights re-aligned so you don't blind people.

Remove the retaining ring, and the headlight should basically just slide right out. Remove the connector from the back (the whole big bulb thing is the light, there's no little bulb like newer cars) and connect the new light.

Fit the new light back it, there are 3 little recessed dips in the hole where the light goes, and 3 tabs on the light itself that fit right in. Make sure the light is rotated correctly, if it's upside down or something it wont illuminate the road properly.

Now put the retainer ring back over the light, and screw it back in.

Put the black plastic thing back on, make sure it slides into the proper borders with the light cover, and screw it back together.

Repeat for the other side.

Turn the key back to the "On" position, and make sure the lights work.

All Done!

By the way, the light type for a Porsche 944 is H6024, and any variant of H6024 (H6024ST, etc)
