Hi, Take off the plastic cover to the back of the light and its the top bulb in the light unit, take off the the leads to the bulb, unclip the metal holder and take the bulb out. replace bulb with new one. I have just changed mine to Ice Blue bulbs. Is looks great and so much brighter than the other ones that where in the car.

Some details to help the above answer:

The low beam and the high beam have the same mechanism. When you remove the plastic cover (the tab is on the top press down and swing out), the low beam bulb is the one on the top and the high beam the one below it.

The clip has a U shape tab at one end and two legs at the other end. The center of the clip presses against the bulb and holds it. You need to push the U shape tab to the left (facing the car) to unhook it from the bracket.

It becomes much easier if

1. You use a flashlight or portable light to illuminate the back of the fitting while carrying out the procedure so that the clip is clearly visible.

2. Use (needle-nose) pliers to move the wire clip left (when facing the car) than your fingers.

3. Do not unclip the bottom portion of the clip. Just release the top as in the answer above and gently let it swing out and down while still attached at the bottom. The bulb can be removed this way. After you place the new bulb, you can just swing back the clip and hook it back to the top bracket.

Passenger side or driver side? BClear. The low beam is built into the same bulb as the high beam. Just pull the bulb out from behind the housing under the hood and replace it. If the low beam doesnt work you have to replace the whole bulb. They're not very expensive.
