Default T/A Headlight Change

K I feel stupid asking for this but I don't feel like taking everything in that assembly apart just to replace the low beam that just burnt out. I have the replacement bulb/housing. Could someone please post up a simple writeup on what bolts to remove in what order to get this done? Thanks. Much appreciated.

remove the black bezel around the low and high beams with a phillips head screwdriver, then the housing/bulb gets removed with a torx bit screwdriver. the bulb/housing are one unit i believe

Ok so are the torx bits you're referring to the ones also used for aligning the lights? Thanks for the help.

Ok done and yeah, super easy. 3 phillips screws to remove the bezel (remember how to put it back in or it'll sag/leave a gap when you put it back in). When that's off, you'll see 4 small hex screws that hold in the housing. Reinstall the bezel then aim the new headlights!
