Is this the lamp on the bumper, or in the headlamp?

Oh ok. you remove the dust cover for the high beam lamp, & the socket that holds the bulb is accessible. You have to turn the socket , & then it can come out. To put it bac in, it takes a little playing around with.

It is the black rectangular cover behind the headlamp that has to be removed before you can access that socket.
