Other than to take the whole front end off?

Hello,

You should be able to remove the inner fender liner to access the back of the headlight housing.

See attached replacement procedure.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

Well, I replaced the bulb, and it still doesn't work, so I have no clue. I put in a D2S for the low beam, attached it the way it's supposed to be and it still isn't working.

Well, keep in mind that if the ballast (igniter module) is bad then the good bulb won't light up either.
There is also a 15A fuse for each low beam headlight. The driver side low beam fuse is in the fuse box under the driver side dash and the passenger side fuse is in the fuse box under the passenger side dash.
