1) Twist to remove the black plastic headlight lamp cover.

2) Unplug the wires from the back of the headlight lamp.

3) Carefully release the lamp retaining wire bail by pushing in toward the front of the car and then pushing left toward the passanger side of the car (except if UK of course). The wire bail will just hinge out of the way.

4) Lamp will now pull straight out toward back of the car.

5) When installing a new lamp, DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS. If you accidently touch the glass, clean it thoroughly with alcohol. Be sure to seat the three metal tabs in the correct slots. The lamp will only seat properly in one orientation.

6) Relatch the wire bail, reinstall the lamp wiring connector, and reinstall the black plastic cover.

7) Turn on headlights and check that the new lamp lights properly. Using a garage door or similar vertical surface, verify that the headlight aim is correct. If the headlight aim is not correct, then the lamp is not properly orientated or seated. Try again.

It is really very easy once you have practiced one or two times.
