You didn't say which side so we'll say passenger side but process practically same for both. open bonnet, look at rear of light, move induction kit/filter if in the way. identify which bulb is gone, unclip connector at back of bulb, twist bulb (anti clockwise i think but should be easy to figure out) and pull out of the headlamp. Get replacement buld and do everything you have just done in reverse.

As Daz says, handy enough to get at them. Hardest part is probably unclipping the cable from the bulb.

Codes for new bulbs are 9006/HB4 for the dipped beam, and 9005/HB3 for the high beam.
