If you are replacing the whole headlight assembly, it is really easy. There are two long screws/bolts. They have a star-patterned screw/bolt. Remove those two fastners and pull the headlight straight out enough to disconnect the headlamp bulb from the backside.

On each headlamp, you need to remove the screws holding the headlamp the the car (2 screws per headlamp)
Then pull the lamp out and change the bulbs.
Dont touch the new bulbs with your hands, use the plastic bag they came in (but remove the bag after install!!!)

Hello trimaineiman: My name is Roger and I will help you. A couple of things you should do is replace the water pump while you have the timing belt off. Should the pump fail later it will do severe engine damage to the engines valves. Next This engine is not a free wheeling engine. Should you put the belt on and the valve timing oi not correct. Severe engine damage will occur. By that I mean Valves in the head will be bent and/or piston damage will occur. Here is a picture of the marks. It is the best i could find. Good luck on your repairs. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer as this way I know it was helpful. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

Headlamps -- remove two long bolts with 7 mm or 8 mm hex heads for each headlamp assembly. These bolts are located in the horizontal body panel above and either side of the headlamp assembly. Headlamp can then be pulled forward far enough to remove the lamps from the assembly (twist about a quarter turn).

Taillamps -- inside the trunk, you may have to move the trunk liner aside, but there are three plastic wing nuts holding each taillight assembly in place. After removing these wing nuts, the assembly can be removed.

You should have two plastic nuts on each headlamp assembly, one will be for your high beams and one will be for your low beams.

The nuts should be located either on the top of the headlamp assembly, behind the headlamp assembly, or near the frame rail (might see holes in your rail above the headlamp unit where the screws are hidden)

Park your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same bulb, only do it for the lows)

If the headlights read VOR, then aim the brightest part or cutoff part just below the mark on the wall. If it says VOL or nothing, aim them 2 inches below the mark on the wall.

YOU MUST REMOVE UPPER RAD SUPPORT TO REMOVE COOLING FANS..REMOVE ALL 10MM,13MM HEADED BOLTS..REMOVE 4 HEADLAMP SCREWS..7MM HEAD..THERE ARE 2 PLASTIC RIVETS THAT MUST BE CUT OFF AS WELL..HOOD LATCH CAN STAY WITH SUPPORT,LAY BACK ON TOP OF ENGINE OR REMOVE IT..MARK LOCATION ON SUPPORT..REMOVE 4 BOLTS FROM FAN ASSEMBLY,UNPLUG IT..IT ALSO COMES OUT EASIER WITH UPPER RAD HOSE DISCONNECTED..1 CLIP ON TOP OF FAN HOUSING AS WELL

The battery is located under the right headlamp assembly. To access it remove the right front tire and the access panel at the forward area of the fender well. As far as cutting out, that would depend on several things like when was the last tuneup, is the throttle body clean, any engine fault codes and that sort of stuff.
