Default Replacing low beam headlights on Trans Am?

Maybe I'm dumb and can't find a thread on here or something, but how do you replace the headlights on the '98-'02 Trans Ams? My driver's side low beam headlight is out. I was told you can just get replacements at Autozone for like $10. Are they just plug and play? I'm not looking to get crazy with HIDs or whatever and all this conversion stuff, I just want to get my lights working again like stock. Does Sylvania make an OEM bulb, or maybe something even brighter that is just plug and play?

Not sure about a brighter oem lights, but I bought my lights from Autozone two years ago and they work fine, I think I paid almost $10 per light. They were the standard light, plug and play.
