Follow the FSM. I prefer removing the whole headlamp units.

If you can change a regular bulb you can do this. The only thing special is that there is a security torq bit on the bulb cover. I requires a torq bit with a hole in the middle. However...

I have used a small flat head screwdriver to remove the screws on the bulb cover, they are not generally tight and when you get them out you can replace with regular phillips-if you like.

I bought a set of blbs off Ebay and they have about 6 months of driving on them and so far so good.
