the easiest way to get to all the bulbs is stripping interior and dash, you dont have to take the dash out though. use cdeegans guide, if i can do it anyone can, the headlight switch is held in by 2 bolts at the back, just remove the kick panel and feel behind, once you remove the bolts, you have to pull on the swtich to extend it slightly so you can twist and pull it from the hole, the light bulb sits in its housing in the switch, be careful when unplugging the switch as there a 2 clips on the switch that easily break off, good luck

i explained this already

you do not have to strip the dash, thats only if you want to do all the bulbs, the headlight/fog bulb is as i said 8), i know this as ive done this job less than a week ago.
