disconnect the harness behind the passenger headlamp
pull out the rubber grommet protective piece (might take a little slack, wiggle its way out)
when u see the metal clip things, u lift the top ones off and work its way out. this will take a little slack as well. you work its way out one side by another.
then your onto the headlight bulb


install process is vice versa

dont be afriad to get your hands gooey from the headlight bulb harness grease and grommet. it'll come off when u soap it off. make sure you DO NOT touch the bulb at all. if the bulb touches any dirt, grease, fingerprint, anything... it'll blow sooner or later.
