I think 2008 already has the same facelift as my 2009??
Owner's manual has some instructions.
It's good if you have small hands (easy for me to say)
Which side? Battery case gets pretty close but can be done anyway.
You can get H-11 bulbs at lots of parts-stores. These instructions don't apply to the HID headlamps.
If its the battery side:
Remove the top cover of the battery case (1/4-turn little plastic thingies at the front edge).
Remove the little air nozzle leading into the battery case because it'll probably fall out anyway.
The top fill-tube of the windshield-washer reservoir pulls off (O-ring & lots of friction). That gave me more room for my hands.
There's a round disk on the back of the headlamp assembly - counterclockwise about 1/4 turn to take that off.
Inside, the lamp comes out with about 1/4-turn counterclockwise. Then disconnect the wiring plug.
Put in the new bulb, but be careful never to touch the glass. Invisible oils from your fingers will dramatically shorten the lifespan.
Then put everything else back together like you took it apart.
