you have to reach up from the bottom and remove the small funny shaped metal clip on back of headlight unit. Then the bulb will come right out and just put the new one in there...

This is probably the fastest, most efficient way to do it. not the cleanest though. but hey! you'll feel GREAT after you do it. [sm=badbadbad.gif]

seriously though, what Drlowz said is right.

Best answer yet, logic prevails!

There's a little plastic piece you must remove first toget your hand in there. Then you caneither look at thebulb or touch it, but you can't do both. It's infuriating until you know the trick. I'll let you figure out that one.
