Tools needed: Phillps screwdriver and #10mm Socket. Unscrew 5 screws that hold grill on. Unscrew the 2 screws that hold the headlight bezel on (underhood). Unscrew the 2 screws to the turn signal light. There is a bolt behind it you need to undo to remove the headlight. Unscrew the sidemarker light. It is on top in corner..and remove it by jiggling it forward. Using ratchet and#10mm socket, unbolt the remaining 3 bolts that hold the light assembly on.Pull gently towards you/out...but not to far as there are 2 plugs that must be unhooked first. Depress the center tab on each and they should unplug/slide off. There are 3 screws that hold a locking cover on that you need to remove to get to the bulb. Pay attention on how it is installed. Remove, replace with new bulb and use some bulb grease on connectors to keep moisture out. Plug the new lightbulb in and reinstall the light aseembly using one bolt to hold in place. Test headlight by turning key to 'on' and turn headlights on. If it works turn key off and continue doing the reverse as listed above. If not, check your connections. Good Luck. Oh...and while you're at it, you might as well replace the working side since you just did the majority of the labor. :)
