You can also remove the wheel and the plastic fender lining and remove the bulb from the back of the headlight.

Do not disconnect Battery. not neccessary, @BULB size D2S <==

On line here is the item Good set to have for a handy guy. Remove wheel for easy acess, then remove all inside front & back fender clips with a flat head crew drive , abit harder for the inside uper clip, but take time. (note: if the fender clip not at position as you try to pry it out, simply turn the whole clip by hand to position for easy crewdriver access)except for one or two bolt on bottom front, and just kinda drop the fender hanging while 1. unplug the wire at the light house 2.remove the security crew, remove the cover by turning it to the left (it's just pressure tight, so use a bit musle to turn & remove that cover)3. Turn the light bulb plug from the bulb lefty, 4. then remove the small safetywire clips(just on upper top of bulb) that hold the bulb to the housing.(try to use the mirror to see how its line up before unclip the safetywire so you know how to put it back after. remove bulb then replace with new, *make sure turn on the light to check for light before putting back everything. http://cgi.ebay.com/SECURITY-TAMPER-Screw-...bayphotohosting
This is the best advice I can give you, Good Luck

Make sure you disconnect your battery first.
