Take the two clips you see there and push them down and inwards together. That'll release the bulb. From there you jsut unplug the connector and pull.

I want to change the bulb in my ILS I want a different color than the yellow. Here’s the back of my headlight looks like there’s screws holding it in place and there’s no screw driver that could fit in there unless I tear the light apart. Seems crazy.

Screw to the left appears to be holding bulb in place. How do I remove these screws. (Inside the housing)

Not hard at all.
No screws.

Is 6000K stock? I thought most cars use 4300K. The higher the temp the bluer the light. It might look cool in the parking lot, but not driving down a dark road at night.

This is one of the better depictions of light effects at different temps.

If you are talking about the wiring that is inside the headlight housing itself i have seen two options. One is to replace the headlight housing. The other option is to replace the burnt wiring, take apart the housing and basically make a new harness in there then close the light back up.

I would replace the headlight housing.
