It got me stumped at first but its pretty simple to do once you get the hang of it. First have access to the engine compartment, where the headlights located there should be a rubbery black cover at the back of the headlight unit. Take out the big circular cover. Now with the black headlight holder, gently twist it (I think its anti-clockwise, if not try the other way round). It should twist off from the holder and you have access to the bulb if you guide it out. Take the H7 bulb out and carefully replace it with the new (try not to touch the glass). Then reverse the steps and it should be fine from there on.
