I would imagine its a simple matter of pulling out the rubber moisture seal and then unhook the wire holding the bulb and hey presto. Unless you've got one of those small (H1's I think?) that has a wire connected to it then you might have to unscrew something.

Just have to move the coolant overflow so you can get to it. Remove the rubber and unhook the wire, the wire can be a bastard to undo and do back up. But thats about all you have to do.

Your welcome mate. I have changed the bulbs in my car heaps of times, and have never screwed it up.
