If you open the hood, look on the backside of the headlight assembly. You should see the wires that are pllugged into the back of the bulb. If not, there should be a "cap" that you have to take off by turning it to expose the bulb. Once the wire is disconnected, the bulb can come out a few different ways depending on the type of bulb it is. It either pulls out, turns, then pulls out or there is a little wire spring that look like a paperclip that keeps preassure on the bulb to keep it into place that you have to slide out of the way. Whichever one it is, make sure that you don't touch the glass part of the new bulb. If you have avaiable use gloves because the oil from your skin can cause the bulb to overheat and it will not last as long
