Is it a classic?
If so, undo the screw at the outer top edge of the headlight, and pull the sidelight hard towards you. It's held by a ball and socket, so try not to pull at an angle, or you'll snap the ball off.
Don't worry too much if you do, mine has been repaired with superglue for about 18 months, and been in and out twice since with no ill effects. Remember to smear some grease/Waxoyl on the ball before reassembly.(To make it easier to get out next time, and easier to get back in).
Remove the bulb holder by twisting anti-clockwise, and pull the bulb out of it.
Replace sidelight by locating ball onto socket, ensure it's lined up straight, then strike it sharply with the heel of your hand to drive it into the socket, and replace the screw you removed at first.
Actually takes longer to describe than to do.
