You prob. do not need to change the headlight..(the housing and the glass cover) but only the bulb right?
(a guess on my part if I am wrong then the rest is useless)
Ok.. that is typically done from under the hood.
Look for the wires that lead to th headlamp (you may have to remove some covers first but they will be designed for easy removal).
Unhook the bulb and pull it out of the socket.
Take the bulb to an autoparts store and ask for a replacment.
Buy a pair of latex shop gloves (like doctors use ) there also..
Wearing the gloves, open the package and remove the new bulb and put it into the socket where the old one was.
Quickly turn on your lights to make sure that it works now - if not you may have a different problem.
If everyting works, re-assemble it all, re-test it and if it is working remove the gloves and give yourself a back pat
(in case you wondered.. you needed the gloves to keep the oil from your fingertips off the bulb. That oil creates hot spots when the lamp is lit and will lead to premature burnout or breakage.)

Dodge Man is correct, but you might have to remove the battery to get enough room to remove the bulb.
if you do, make sure you know what your radio code is before you disconnect that battery...this will save you lots of headache when you put everything back together.
also, if you are replacing the bulb, think about getting a set of Sylvania Silver Star bulbs (or something similar with a true white or bright white color) and replace both of them...it makes a serious difference.

If you dont want to damage it or have "Joes Garage" damage it, take it to the dealer-its worth the few extra bucks.
