Inside will be the back of the bulb and the wire harness. Rotate the back of the bulb assembly and it should come out. Disconnect the wires and replace it, and put it back the same way you took it out.

With the help of my brother, I was able to replace the driver side low beam to my 2006 Mazda 6. Above helped a ton but one additional piece of info was missing. There is a spring load on the bulb. After you remove the cap, you need to get a light in there and see the loop which is holding in the bulb. That has to be pressed down and pushed to the side to release the spring and then the bulb can be removed. The bulb I had to turn slightly and then it came right out. Take it out slowly so you can see how the replacement will go back in. The base of the replacment bulb had a flat side so I just kept track of where that was when I removed it. Don't touch the actual bulb...I was told that if you get the oils of your fingers on it, the light will burn out within a week because the oils bake on and cause it to burn out.
Be careful when removing the bulb. It can easily break and leave fragments inside the lens assembly. The wire spring is holding the bottom side of the light and when twisting the light to relieve the pressure on the bottom side, the bulb can break (which mine did).
