for the low beams:

remove the rubber casing, and if you look carefully there is a little clip holding the bulb in place
push in and then up to unlatch the clip.
shimmy the bulb out of the socket and unplug the wire....

BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE BULB ITSELF

replace with the new bulb and plug into the headlamp...make sure it fits snugly or it wont shine correctly.
once it is in clamp it in place and put the rubber cap back on the light

for the high beams:

yes... and no i didnt remove the bumber although it probly would help...

any way, if you look up and down the metal bar ull see that there are two clips snap them out...

and the power steering fluid container can be lifted out of its locked position by sliding it out of place and pushed to the side

this will give you a little more room, just suck up the pain and go after it... that worked for me [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

replacing the low beams is no problem... the high beams you have to take off the bumper and take off the projectors..
