installing headlight buls
How do I go about changing headlight bulbs? It looks like its a simple twist and pull, but Id like to actually know what Im doing before I start pulling random things out from under my hood. TIA

I am assuming you do not have sealed beams since you said "twist and pull".
You are right, that is all there is to it. Make sure you do not touch the new bulbs (glass part only) with your bare hands though. The oils in your skin will cause them to blow prematurely. Wear latex gloves or use a clean towel/rag to hold the bulb. I often just use a paper towel.
It is a quick and easy operation.

It depends on the year. On my 90, they twist and pull from the back of theheadlight, under the hood. You just unpug the connector. You never need to touch the glass bulb at all.
