How to change globe on headlight
brian_au no 1 solution is wrong.. globe is under a spring clip cover . remove cover, then unplug, then release retaining spring behind the globe. replacement is just process reversal
Turn the holder a quarter turn Counterclockways and it pops out the rear
To replace it put a new bulb in the holder and stick it back in the rear
DO NOT TOUCH THE NEW BULB ITH YOUR FINGERS OR IT WILL BLOW OUT
PUT YOUR HAND IN A PLASTIC SANDWICH BAGGIE, THEN GRASP THE NEW BULB
old bulb just pull it straight out of the holder and discard.

Your adjustment screws should be white nuts (adjustable with an allen wrench, or a socket, or a pair of pliers) located behind the headlamp assembly right up against the fender
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. You only need to do this and the aiming for your low beams as your high beams are on the same bulb
Your headlights should also say VOR. When you turn on your headlights, aim them right at the mark that you put on the wall, with the brightest cutoff directly under the mark

The fuse must be in the main fuse box. The position and function of the fuses is normally marked on the inside of the fuse box cover and also in the owner's handbook. If you don't come right with these, work your way through the fuses looking for a blown one. To ease your search the low beam fuse it should be around 15 to 20 amps.
