There are two bolts holding the lamp assembly in place. Loosen these and remove. A third bold is located towards the inside edge of the assembly down around bumper height on the back side. This needs removed as well. The assembly will be loose at this time but you will need to pull on it pretty good to get it loose from a socket fitting that holds the assembly to the body. It is supposed to come apart so don't be afraid of it, just make sure to line it back up and pop it back in when you reassembly it. The bulbs are hidden behind a door on the assembly. Unlatch the door and you can replace the bulbs. Make sure to put the door back on before reinstalling. I've forgotten and had to take the assembly back out to put the door on. That's about it. Just bolt it back in.

This advice gave me the confidence to successfully change the bulb! I would add there are six tabs (or buttons) holding in place a radiator cowling which partially covers the front headlamp assemblies. Pushing the center of a button releases it and allows removal. Very small print on the buttons says same but you might not notice before breaking one. Removing the cowling helped me to visually locate and remove both the bolt at bumper height and the socket fitting. The socket fitting was very stubborn and I had to use spray lubricant, a tap of a flat bladed screwdriver and a hefty pull.
