I don't know if it's very different to the process on a 2001, should be similar.
You have to start in under the hood.
For mine, first had to carefully pop out the plastic dam that sits horizontally between the grill and the metal frame. Once that's moved, there were two plastic tab things that you pull and the light assembly will be free....careful not to let it fall off or you'll be paying $250 to replace it.
Then just pull the bulb wire out the back, change and reassemble.
The plastic dam thingy is held in with those plastic grommet things and can break so be careful. 1 of mine broke but not a big deal.
The easiest way i figured out was take the plate off the lights are vertically installed so open the trunk and remove the license plate.
