Well this is how my friend and I did it to put in some silverstar ultrabrights in my 03 Neon.

Open the hood and with a socket wrench remove the screws that attach the headlight casing to the engine compartment. Next remove the screws that attach the front bumper to the car (they're all on the top). With the "bumper screws" removed, pull out the headlight casing and bend/pull/warp the bumper as needed to remove the headlight. Its impossible if you dont remove the bumper screws trust me. With the head light hanging out, unplug the cord that leads to the bulb, unscrew the plastic ring that keeps the bulb in place, and GENTLY twist and pull the bulb out. And vuala! Just repeat the steps backwards to finish and repeat with the other headlight.

And DO NOT touch the glass of the bulb, the oil from your fingers will reduce the bulb's life by causing it to over heat, which will burn out your bulb sooner.
