I had a headlight bulb go out, but I've been slow to do anything about it because I've not been driving during hours of darkness. I finally looked into how to take care of it and the service manual says simply to take out two screws and remove the back. Seems simple enough, but that isn't the case. You also need to remove the grill, remove the bumper, and the way the manuals are normally written I'd expect it saying to see how to open the hood. At any rate, I replaced mine, and only started shooting video in earnest when I realized the video I watched didn't say there were four screws on each side you had to remove. So I actually shot the video as I was putting things back together. Hopefully the video I put together helps someone.

Bulb removed was a OSRAM XENARC 66340, and I put in a Philips 42302C1 D3S.
