I spent about an hour trying to figure this job out.
So, to make it a little easier for the next guy (or gal), I took photos.
I have a tall windshield, so I took it off first.
It will be easier to remove the piece of plastic that juts over the instrument panel.
There are small holes you can put a tiny screwdriver to avoid this step.

Use a small flathead screwdriver to un-wedge the instrument panel.
57680
Slip off the rubber cap to gain access to the halogen light bulb.
Get fingers on the plug attached to the bulb and turn slightly counter clockwise.
(I have more photos but was only allowed to attach 5).
57681
Using the small screwdriver unclip both sides of the metal clip holding
the bulb, unplug and carefully and remove connector.
57683
I went to Pep Boys and paid $16.30 w/CA tax for an H7 bulb.
**** Note: Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers. The oils are
said to make the bulb blow out...
Hope this is of help to you.
