HI Karen;
OK it should not be that hard to do,I have never taken one out of your model but it is not hard,all you should have to do is open the hood than there should be one or two pins on the top of the light assembly they will be bent over so you will have to lift them up and out and be carefull doing so,than you will have to un-plug the light assembly and remove the lamp = than thats it !. you will have to get a new light assembly some stores sell them for as much as $ 135.00 but you should find one at a parts place or a strauss store etc. for around $ 50.00 . OK
Good Luck
Roger
