I have a 96, but i assume that they are quite similar...

The Bulb: if you look at the back of the headlight in the middle there is a black node with wires out the back of it twist it and it should come loose, pull it out and there is the light. Pull the wires and the black sleeve then put the new one in the way you took it out.

The Lens: It has been a while since i replaced my so bare with me. Unfortuanately the lamp is one piece (really bad design). Take the blub out. I cannot remember exactly all the screws to remove but i will go through the general process. Remove the grille (pretty easy) it is just held on with some clips a flathead and some gental persuation will get that off. Remove screws that hold it on. What I'm having problems remembering is if you have to take the blinker off (which it held on by visible screws) You will just have to play by ear. After those screws are out, it should pull right out and replace it with the new one. Don't forget to adjust them!
