Best Answer

For the Mid-2005 Malibu (the boxy model, not the Classic) the headlights are part of the front light module that includes the headlights and the combination front marker/turn signal. This module is attached by two bolts on the top. These are easily seen if the top of the module is examined from above with the hood of the car open.

Remove the two bolts with a nut driver. Set the bolts and their washers aside for use in re-assembly. Lift the module slightly away from the the car body -- a few inches -- and look behind it to see where the lighting module wiring is plugged into the car's wiring harness. This socket has a retainer clip molded into it, but that is easily released. Then the wiring can be unplugged.

Take the light module to your work bench (or kitchen table). Look at the back of the module. There you will see three twist in bulb covers. Remove the cover that is over the bulb you want to replace and you have access to the bulb socket. Replace the bulb. Reverse the process to re-assemble.
