How to change a headlight?

The headlight burned out on the driver's side of my '96 Toyota Corolla. Does anyone know how to change it? Does the battery need to be removed? We tried removing a couple of screws to detach the lamp from the car, but that didn't work. It looks like there may be a couple of bolts that require a wrench to remove them - do those need to be taken off? This is quite frustrating! Help!

Yes the bolts need to be take off, once you get those off it should come right off, maybe a lil force to get it off. But once it is off just change the light. if all else fails look online for a manual to your car.

If it's a composite light the bulb is mounted in a socket which is in the back of the head light turn the socket counter clockwise to remove pull out bad bulb and put in new one useing a rag so you don't get oil from your fingers on it then turn the socket clockwise until it locks in place

you should read your owner's manual, it's in the back with step by step instruction...
