I'll be kind. The bulb connects to the harness - remove that first. Then you will have to remove the moisture seal (the rubber cover), then a set of clips, and viola - yoiu're done.Ummmm...when you bought the car you DID get an owner's manual, right? You might want to try there...
just as a supplement to above... unplug the harness from the bulb then you should pull the raised tab on the black rubber cover around the harness. it will pull completely out then look for 2 wings of a silver clip. hold and push them together and it will pull back. pull the bulb out and slide in the new one. be sure not to touch the glass of the new one and use some bulb grease to make getting it out easier if you have to in the future. squeeze the clips again and push into the headlamp and it should lock. put the cover back on and make sure it is tight. test it and check hi/low beam.
