Smile changing headlight bulbs

I just noticed two headlight bulbs are out. I have a 98'Acura 2.2. Both bulbs are on the passenger side. One is the high beam and the other is the side running light. Is this an easy job for a person with very basic tool skills to accomplish? If so can you give me a brief heads up on taking the bulb assemblies out to put new bulbs in? I can see there are screws holding them in and I'm thinking if I take out the screws the sockets will come away and I can just pop in new bulbs. Thank you for your help.

I recently changed my low beam headlights and it was straight forward. just remove the top show cover over the rad area. then from the back side of the light assembly look for the bulbs you need to change and to remove the bulb you grab and remove the wire connector. then simply turn the bulb a half a turn and they will come right out. be sure not to touch the bulbs glass surface with your fingers. also depending on which bulb it is you may need to remove other parts to gain access. good luck.

Nickla's advice is spot on. Just did the same on our '97 3.0
