Exclamation Drivers Side Low Beam Headlight Out- What parts needed to Fix it?

Just like the title states, my driverside LOW BEAM is out. Which to me is shocking as the car has only 12k on the odometer and I very rarely use my lights (try like 4 times a year, yes not much night time cruising). Anyways, I was wondering if I can just replace the bulb or if I need the entire lens assembly? Also, how can I go about fixing this? I've done most of the work on my car but I just hate electrical crap is one of the reasons I've shy'd away from the H.I.D lights(seems too indepth for the look). So, I've read around and have came to the conclusion that I will need the model #H4703 which is the whole assembly, lens and all. Is this correct?

Thanks for the info. I know on my old camaro you could just change the bulb out, but Oh well.

Its so simple you will feel stupid for asking once you do it!

Turn the lights on so the go up...then turn them back to the parking light position so they stay up but are off.

Take the three phillips head screws out that holds the black plastic bezel on. And pull that piece off.

The headlight is held in by 4 torx bit screws...take them out and the frame that holds the headlight in will come off. Now pull the headlight out and unplug it.

Take your new headlight out of the box and reverese the procedure above!



Now this is just off the top of the head but its damn close to all you have to do!
