any DIY for replacing headlamp bulb?

any DIY for replacing headlamp bulb?
my car is 2000 S430 and basically both my low-beam headlamp went out and I want to take this opportunity to learn how to replace a bulb by actually doing it by myself.
I believe the hardest part is to remove headlamp assy from the car so I can reach for the bulb. Any help on how to do this will be greately appreciated.

S 320 - 2001
I just replaced all the bulbs in my S320 (2001) , with Philips Blue Vision . Its very easy , but you may need small pliars to position bulbs in place before tightening them by hand and securing the clips. If you have large hands and big wrists you might have problems as there is not a lot of room !!
Take your time and I am sure you will manage.

cheers

No need to remove the headlamps. You access the bulbs though the back of the headlamp assembly. There are covers behind them which open (and can be totally removed if necessary). It's a little tricky, but I'm sure you can do it. ...Much cheaper than taking it to MB. You should be able to purchase all of your bulbs for less than $20. Let me know if you have any troubles. I had a 2000 S500 that was always going through bulbs.
