The Low Beam lights are the easiest. Open the hood, and look behind the headlight assembly. You should see the base plug at the base of the bulb sticking out from behind. The tabs on the plug hold it to the base of the light. Gently lift those tabs away from the base of the bulb, and the plug should just slide right out.
Then you have to grab the base of the bulb, and give it a quarter turn or so counter-clockwise, and the bulb is unlocked and can be pulled out of the socket.
When you replace the bulb, put the new one in in reverse order. Make SURE you use a paper towel or napkin to handle the glass on the new bulb as any dirt, oils, salts, etc on your hand can create issues that will cause the bulb to break when the bulb gets hot, so keep it clean!!! Insert it in the socket, and rotate CLOCKWISE 1/4 turn.
The highbeam comes apart the exact same way, HOWEVER.....The only way I found to get to the plug and access the hole in which the bulb goes in, is to remove the grill mounting screws, (Theres at least 3 sometimes 5. The three for sure are on tabs on top of the grill at either side of the front panel that the grill attaches to, and the third is under the bowtie emblem on the grill. If there are more, you'll have to find those, the 97 and 98 that I own have only these three, but Ive been told there may be 5 total screws depending on what may or may not be under the hood as far as options.)
When these screws are out, you can gently slide the grill out of the tabs that hold the BOTTOM of the grill in place. Dont pull it off all the way unless you disconnect the turnsignal light plugs from the sockets or youll tear the wires or break the mounts.
Once the grill is pulled forward, giving you access to the headlight assembly, you can reach the high beam lights from underneath the assembly. Again, these can be replaced exactly as the low beams.
