My personal preference is to remove the headlamp.
I can see why you wouldn't want to do that and yes it's very doable by the method described above.
I have lots of practice though and a giant box full of tools.
If you are up to it, taking the lamp out makes it easy to see and easy to reach.
Good luck either way you do it!

I've changed all 4 at one time or another, all at night, no flashlight, only by feel on the side of the road (I bought a 10pack of h7 bulbs and keep them in my car). Im lucky I didn't have a gun in my hand, or I would have shot myself. Removing the lamp will make your life easier!

Re: Right-Front Headlight out, need info!

Interesting that you say it's an H7 ... I just replaced the low beam on my 2001 and it takes an H1. The bulb only has one terminal on it, whereas the H7 has two. I've read this discrepancy before, but I'm not really sure why some have the H1 and some the H7. In fact, when you read the package that the H1 comes in it only says "fog light", where the H7 package reads "fog light AND low beam". But believe me, the H7 is NOT the correct bulb for my 2001. Makes no sense to me ... anyone know why this is??

Re: Right-Front Headlight out, need info!

Ok, I got it fixed yesterday, went ahead and replaced them all. After reading how difficult it was I decided to hurry, but I didn't find it that hard, was actually very easy especially when i compare it to all the other cars I've messed with. Thought about buying the xenon bulbs but I really want those HID's.
