It can be done by touch but the risk to damage the headlight assembly (ass'y) is high. To take out the ass'y is done by removing the grille (4 screws) then the molding under the ass'y (no tools) then 2 screws under the ass'y. To replace the bulb by touch, remove the cover above the headlight (looks like a part of the shroud). Remove the black plastic cover. Pinch and remove the wire harness, pinch and remove the bulb holder. The bulb holder has a wire retainer similar to a paper clip and can pop out of position easily. Pinch and remove operations can break a plastic hinge that's necessary for headlight aiming (that's the risk). It seems like a lot of trouble to take out the whole ass'y but its really one of the easiest things you can do on a Catera. Start to finish it will be about 30 minutes for each light.
