You have to remove the grill in order to replace any of the bulbs in the headlight housing. Please refer to the answer to "removing the grill".

After removing the grill, there are three bolts ( you can use a phillips head screw driver on them) to remove before you can pull the headlamp housing out. One sits on top and two in both bottom corners of the housing. Once those are removed, you have to pull the headlamp straight out. You may need to use a screwdriver to help pull it away. If it's the drivers side, use the screwdriver on the right (over parking light) side. If it's the passenger side housing, use the screwdriver on the left side (over the parking light). You just want to insert the screwdriver two or three inches and pull up on it slightly. Just to coax it away from the frame.

After removing it from the car, it ill still be attached by the cables running to the lights in the housing. There is a clip you can push in and pull out the connector, allowing you to completely remove the housing now.

Now just locate the bulb that needs replacing and twist the backside of the connector to pull the bulb out.

My suggestion is to replace ALL bulbs at one time. The hassle of getting the headlight housing out, by removing the grill makes it worth the expense of all new bulbs and hopefully you won't have to replace another bulb for a very long time.
