These can be a pain in the backside, best answer I can give you is to grab your trusty digital volt meter and start tracing your wiring harness, you'll need obviously, the DVM, a wiring schematic of your whole vehicle and a whole lot of patience.
It may be all one sealed unit. Newer cars have headlight , blinker and parking light all in one housing. If the headlight is out you change the bulb by unscrewing the bulb capsule from the back. If you are trying to replace it because the lens is damaged or cracked, you will have to replace the whole unit.
Try checking both a; your fuses, and b; check your bulbs. You should have two fuse boxes, one under hood and one in or under the dash. Check those for bad, blown or weak fuses. And check your headlights bulbs for them being good and their connection. If this doesn't fix your problem, you may check out your highbeam switch.
The headlight is an assembly and will have to be replaced as such. If the damage isn't too severe, sy just a crack, you may be able to repair it temporarily with a hot glue gun. If you can keep moisture from getting to the halogen bulb, it will work until you can have it replaced. Even though it is a 2010 model, check with the local salvage dealers to see if you can find a used one.
Headlight globe, meaning the inside of the headlight? If thats what you mean, only way to do it, is to take the lens off, and in order to do that, you need to take out the headlight, take off the rubber backings and take out the light bulbs. Then preheat your oven to 210 degrees, stick your light in there for 10 minutes, and pry apart the lens, since the glue will melt. Dont forget to undo the clips that also hold the lens to the housing. After you pry off the lens, clean or whatever you need to do. Then reseat the lens and hook the clips, then back in the oven it goes for 10 mins. Then hold pressure on the lens untill glue hardens.
Hope that helps.
They will not have or sell replacement globes, it will come with the whole headlight.
I had the same problem, lens can not be re-insered, you have to buy a whole new assembly. About $125.00 each, they changed the adhesive on the replacement lens.
There should be two long silver colored bolts sticking up from the headlight from behind the grill when you open the hood. They should have small heads, about 7 or 5.5 mm. Remove these bolts(studs) and the headlight lens will pull out the front.
