I did mine (04 Aero) with out taking out the light housing. The drivers side is easy and straight forward, as saabsince 93 says, twist off the outer plastic disc cover, release the metal retaining clip and unplug the wiring from the bottom of the silver xenon bulb box. Insert new bulb CAREFULLY, do not touch bulb portion to ANYTHING! I plugged the wiring into the new bulb before I inserted it in the housing, seemed easier that way. Make sure its seated properly and put the metal retaining clip back in place. The passenger side is much more difficult as there is no room to work without removing parts for access. I did do it with everything in place, but you run the almost inevitable risk of damaging the new bulb by trying to fish it into the lamp housing and reconnecting the wiring with out touching the bulb to anything. It was a serious PIA!! If I were to do it again, I would without question remove the headlight assembly, passenger side only, it would save you alot of time and more than likely the cost of another bulb.
