1. Break loose lug nuts2. Jack up & take off wheel3. Take out fender liner, this is held by plastic clips & phillips headed screws4. Reach in twist out bulb socket5. Replace bulb6. Re-install front fender liner7. Put on wheel & tighten lug nuts8. Lower wheel & torque lug nuts to spec.Done!

...I just realized your referring to the hi-beam light.

The hi-beam is under the light grey plastic disk, Rotate clockwise about 1". A rubber "O" ring protects the lamp from water throwing from the wheel.The hi-beam lamp is held in place with a spring clip that has one leg sticking out.Push this leg down & rotate it upwards a bit to unlatch.At this time I would put (very important) a pair of clean cotton gloves on so you can protect both the old & new bulb & not scratching anything.

If needed...I'll try & find some pics.

instead of taking the wheel off you can just turn them all the way to the right (for left fender clearance and vice versa) you can get to the light's seal locks just as easy.
