The answer is probably yes. You remove the plug, then you twist to release the bulb from the socket. When installing the new bulb, handle it with clean grease free gloves or with a shop towel. Do not touch the glass with your fingers. The best bulb for your application that you can find in a parts store is probably the Xtravision. Don't fall for the Silverstar gimmick.

Have you opened the little doors for headlight bulb access situated between the grill and the radiator core support? Did you check the owner's manual for details? The steps are spelled out on page 211 of the manual. If you do not have a copy of the owner's manual, you can download it here.
