Replacing burned out lights is VERY easy. There should be three screws
with a strange screw-driver blade pattern :
\|/
/|\
(six slots)
There should also be a bracket AROUND the bulb held in place by several
(I believe four) regular Philips head screws. These are the ones to remove.
Once these screws are removed, the bracket should come off easily.
Once the bracket is off, the bulb shold almost fall out of the socket.
The wires plugged into the back of the bulb should come off with
very little trouble (you may have to pry plug off with a screw driver),
and the new bulb can be pluged in using the same sequence in reverse.
If you did all this and did NOT TOUCH the six slotted bolts, the aiming
should not have been affected.
Halogen bulbs can be used to replace the old bulbs, if the original aiming
was not off.

Aiming the lights is a simple task. First, find the aiming bolts
(the one NOT holding the bracket around the bulb), they should be easier
to access then the other screws. Get the proper tool (from an auto parts
store or your local auto dealer), and with the car pointing at a wall,
simply adjust the bolts until the beam pattern is level and
pointing slightly to the right.
The car should be about 50 feet rom the wall to get a good aim on the
hot spots of the beam.

Most auto parts stores will also be of some help, just ask :-)
