Passenger side headlight replacement:

Where the wires reach the back of the headlight assembly, feel around the connector for two nubs on opposing sides. These are lock tabs. Depress them and remove the wiring connector from the back of the bulb.

"Peel" the rubber gasket from the headlight assembly, until it comes loose. Pull the rubber gasket from the bulb if you like, it makes the next step easier.

Reach down on the passenger side of the three bulb terminals, and feel the spring steel wire. Push that towards the front of the car, and rotate it out towards the passenger side of the car. It doesn't take much. Once it comes out of it's groove, it will swing up and the bulb can be removed.

Note the three tabs on the bulb, those fit into the headlight bucket on assembly.

To reassemble, get your new bulb (do not touch it with anything other than a clean cloth!) insert it into the headlight bucket, clip it in place, replace the rubber seal, then the connector. Done!
