Unplug the wire connector from the bulb, pull off the big black round rubber water seal, jiggle the metal locking pin (kinda like a mousetrap) to get it to open, then pull out the bulb. (On the passenger side, you probably need to unbolt the fuse box first to be able to reach). Installing the headlight is the same process in reverse. Make sure to put the water seal back on in the correct orientation (there's a little line that should be on the top). Takes maybe 10 minutes. GE 9003 HB2 bulb, can find at Walmart and elsewhere.
the headlight assembly needs to come out in order to change the bulb ive had to do that to my 98 as well.
yes
Locating on a 1998 prizm - fine idea
See the following site:
You replace the bulb the same as a 1998, which is answered further down the page.

We have a 1998 Bounder Motorhome (with ford engine) how do we replace the headlight switch?
It is behind the headlight on some cars.
There are two clips on the wall that holds the headlights. Push the clips away and pull the headlight housing out.
the bumper will have to be removed.

If you can't get to the back of the light assy you have to remove it from the vehicle and the bulb screws in.
