Looking at the information I can find it looks like those are typical composite style lights. For those you replace the entire light unit because they are bonded together. If your light looks like the one in the pictures, it should come out by lifting the hood/bonnet then removing the screws that secure it to the radiator support. Then it should have at least one rubber "socket" that the bottom presses into. After that remove the bulbs and install them into the new housing.
