Go to the forum, DIY: blacked out head light "Laisifu's" post - it's the same directions to get to your headlight.

or

1 - remove your rim
2 - remove the plastic gaurd to get behind your headlight
3 - now you have access to your headlight form the rear

yea mine went out too... so i just changed it yesterday. it took me hella long time tho... When Brandon helped me, he did it within 20~30 mins but it took me like at least an hour and half to take it out and install them back. basically, the easiest way is to take out your bumper and then your headlights and change bulbs that you need to change and put them all back together. it wasnt easy for me, i tell you that. if you are really close by me, i can help you out but otherwise, GL

The headlight has to come out in order to replace the light. You will need to remove the bolts connecting the light in the engine compartment, there is also a bolt in the fender well. It is a pain if you don't know what you are doing I would recommend have someone do it for you. Replace all of the bulbs while you are in there. Good luck. Let me know if you want me to do it for you. You can swing by my shop.

you do not need to take the headlights out..
you only need to take the splash shield off and you can get to the bulb from there.
