before doing this, how do you know the bulb is bad???

most of the time, it could be a fuse. some manufactures do not allow you access to the bulb for obvious reasons.

REMOVAL

Remove headlamp switch.

Electronic modules are sensitive to electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damage may result.
