How to change a headlight?

The headlight burned out on the driver's side of my '96 Toyota Corolla. Does anyone know how to change it? Does the battery need to be removed? We tried removing a couple of screws to detach the lamp from the car, but that didn't work. It looks like there may be a couple of bolts that require a wrench to remove them - do those need to be taken off? This is quite frustrating!

(Very funny, a couple weeks ago, we changed the headlight to my boyfriend's -- surprise -- '96 Toyota Corolla, and we used the manual.) Unfortunately, I can't remember all the details, but I'll tell you what I do recall.



The right (passenger side) headlight is very easy to change. You just have to unhook the cable/wire leading to the headlight, twist the bulb to unlock it, pull it out, put the other one in, twist to secure, rehook the cable, and you're set. The left (driver side) one, however, requires you to take out a part -- air filter, perhaps. It's not difficult, just requires more work. If the bolts you're referring to are on the inside of the front of the car, no, you don't have to unscrew them.
