Default HELP! Installing Halogen Headlight bulb

Do any of you guys know how to change the headllight bulb on the base model, without lifting the car or taking apart the lining?
I'm getting my PIAA's Soon and i couldn't find a single thing on the search.

If it's anything like the HID housing, and I believe it's exactly the same, there's no "easy" way to get to it... You'll need to remove both fender liners on the driver/passenger side

Do a search on changing the HID bulbs or parking lights for a step-by-step DIY.

I wrote a how to on accessing the area. it will show you how to get past the wheel well. behind that; I didnt specificly write it to remove the headlight bulb, but that should be easy enough

go to resources up top and the DIY forum.
