I took high resolution pictures of each step., too bad ther is not a way to post those pictures
This car has only the turn signal and headlight bulbs (total of two bulbs) in the headlight assembly.
Raise the hood and locate the two 7mm bolt heads on the chassis frame just above and the left and right edges of the headlight (called HL in the rest of this description) assembly. The left bolt is rather long; the right bolt is what you would expect. You can tell that you identified the correct bolts after loosening the left bolt; the HL assembly will move slightly when wiggled.
After removing both bolts (be sure to note which bolt goes back into which hole) the HL assembly takes a little effort to break the weather tight seal with the car chassis. Apply enough pressure and twisting action to break it loose without ripping it out of the enclosure, the electrical cables are short.
You now have the HL assembly in your hand and need to reach into the space allowed to twist off the locking ring where the electric cable joins the bulb. This is also a rather strong twist clockwise as you face the car. Once you spin it off, slide the locking ring back over the cable away from the bulb.
Now you need to break the seal between the body and the HL assembly. Once again it takes more pressure than you would expect. Rock the bulb/cable until it breaks loose and comes away from the HL assembly. Be careful, the HL assembly is still attached to the car via the electrical cable.
Next you need to get the bulb away from the electrical cable. There is a locking device that you need to gently lift away from the bulb housing. This almost takes three hands because the locking device has two pieces; be careful not to snap this off. I used a screwdriver to lift both sides of the locking device while pushing with my thumb against the socket at the end of the cable.
Once the old bulb is out of the socket carefully push the new bulb into the socket/cable without touching the glass portion of the bulb. Push the bulb back into the HL assembly, there is no correct orientation (no up or down or left/right), just push it in without touching the glass portion of the bulb. Then work the locking ring back over the bulb/cable assembly and twist it onto the HL assembly until it snaps into place.
Work the HL assembly back into the chassis with delicate twisting and pushing motion until it too snaps into place. Insert and tighten the bolts (left is long) and get gone. Don't over tighten those bolts.
