Modern headlight assemblies are just lenses and are really more part of the body than they were in older cars, to replace most all headlights on modern vehicles look under the hood behing the outer headlight lens and there is a bulb receptacle that inserts into the fixture, now it varies on how to remove it from one manufacturer to the next but that receptacle will either have a locking ring or will simply turn out of the back of the lens and you can pull out and replace the bulb from there. Be careful not to touch the bulb with your fingers to help it last longer, fingerprints or oil will cause the halogen bulbs to burn out quickly.
