pop the hood, look behind the headlights and you will see two L-shaped brackets that hold the headlight in place...slide them out and unhook the harnesses to the turn signal and the headlight...on the back of the headlight you will see a black piece that holds the headlight in place, twist counterclock wise and pull it off; take out the headlight and place the new one in and stick the black piece back on by reversing the process aforementioned...then you're good to go man! just did mine this morning and replaced them with sylvania's...good luck!

the bulb also has three ***** that go into slots, they are different sizes and have diff spacing so it will only go back in one way even thou its close the other ways so if it doesnt go the first time chances are u need to turn the bulb

depends on the car. some of them SUCK and some are pretty damn easy. i dont remember what year car you have 98Ga but im gonna guess 98 from your name. if it is a 98 then i dont think it is what everyone has been tellin you. 99-04 it is as easy as pullin out the pins and pullin the lights out. for your year im not too sure.
