Default 2000 xj8 passenger headlight bulb replace

Does anyone know the procedure to replace the passenger side headlight bulb? I just received a call from my friend who has a 2000 model. I have a 2004 XJR.

Thanks for any help.

I haven't done this in a while but if I remember it's not too difficult. If you open the hood I think you can see the back of the headlight housing, then there is the bulb wire and bulb "socket." I think you twist the bulb "socket" 90 degrees and then pull it out. then you have the bulb in the socket, to get the bulb out of the socket, pull on it. don't touch the bulb with your fingers, the grease on hands can shorten bulb life.

good luck
