There are a couple ways to get into the headlights. The owner's manual shows taking the side-marker lights off, then taking the grille off the front and then removing the headlights. The grille is held on by several little clips that you un-do with a flat screwdriver. The bulb goes in from the back of the headlight and is held on by a lock-ring.

The other way, which is preferred by some, is to remove the airbox on one side to gain access, and remove the battery and washer fluid reservoir on the other side. You don't have to take the headlights themselves out, using this method.

I have always just used the first method. Remember not to touch the glass part of the bulb with bare fingers during installation. The oils from your skin will cause the bulb to shatter when it heats up the first time. I put an old sock on one hand to do the handling of the bulb.

The second method was much easier for me. Taking the grill off was quite a chore. Removing the washer fluid reservoir and the airbox was easy. Thanks for the post.
