Bulbous....
I take it you mean the ones closest to the centre of the car....
The drivers side is easiest, start there. The bulb doesn't go in from the back (good, since that would be worse to change), they go in from the engine side of the housing, at an angle.
Take off the fusebox lid, then look into the area behind the headlight, you can see the bulb holder, if you have nimble fingers it will twist out o.k. (lefty loosey!)
The pass side is a little more difficult, and you might have to take off the lid of the computer, depends on your hand size. By the time you do the drivers, you will know! Careful to pull them straight back, they are a push-in type and if you are rough they will fall into the housing....don't ask :D .
If you have huge hands, or want to make it an all day task, you can take the wheel lining out, and go in from the back, but since they are on the inside, it's not much easier.
