You will need a socket (I forget what size, I know it's metric tho) and a long flathead screwdriver. First you will need to pull back a little bit of the plastic cover right above the headlight. Depending on what kind of clips you have, you can either pry them out (if they are just push in clips), or if the clips have a round thing sticking out of the top of them, take some pliers and pull up on the small round thing to remove the clips. Then, remove the two bolts that are on top of the headlight assembly. Now, take the screwdriver and slide it down in a square slot (on the top of the headlight assembly) in between the headlight fixture and the side marker fixture. There is a little tab in there that you must move (It's a pain in the butt sometimes). Once your screwdriver is on that tab, you can slide the side marker light forward (towards the front of the car). After the marker light is out, you can tilt and wiggle the headlight out. Now you can see the back of the bulb. Just remove the little plastic cover, if your car has it on it, and pull the bulb out. To put the bulb in, just push it in until it feels firm. Unfortunately, these lights do not "lock in".
