How do you replace the headlight bulb located on a 1997 Acura TL?

The left and right side bulbs will need different procedures. I replaced the right (passenger) side bulb as follows:
1. Get something to protect your knuckles first. I skinned mine! 2. Use a screwdriver to gently pry off the connector. This might need a little work. Mine somehow got stuck to the prongs of the bulb and refused to come off. Eventually two of the prongs came off with it. If this happens, get a pair of pliars and pull them off later. Try not to damage the connector. 3. Peel back the black rubber gasket that covers the bulb. 4. There is an U-shaped spring clip that holds the bulb in place. Push down on the top arm of the spring and move it up and out of the latch. The spring will then rotate back out of the way. The bulb should now come out easily. 5.Put the new bulb in, make sure it sits securely. There is only one position for it to sit snug. When seated properly, the middle prong will be horizontal and above the two side prongs. 6. Put the clip back on. 7. Put the gasket back on. There is an arrow on the gasket showing the top, this is supposed to be aligned with the mark on the housing. Don't know how critical that is. 8. Now just pop the connector back on.
You are done. Be sure to test the lights.
If you are replacing the driver side light. it is a little more tight access to get in there. You may need to remove the coolant containers before you can access the headlight housing. Other than that, it should be the same.
