Default Need Headlights Changed

I have 1 headlight out and the other one is getting really dim. I have new bulbs ready to put in, but it's cold and wet outside and I don't want to do it. So my question here, is how can I fix these without having to be outside to do it. Almost forgot the most important, being Christmas and all I'm broke, so I can't pay anybody either.

I know there has to be a way of fixing this from here on the couch but I can't figure out how. HELP ME, I'M LAZY.

Fall asleep. Maybe in your dream they will be fixed. At least that way they will be fixed for a while.

Well, you call the neighbor kid, offer him a dollar... My Sport pkg is great, just reach in behind the battery and twist the lock, pull the receptacle out, swap bulbs and reinstall. Not sure about the other trucks...is it that simple or do you have to remove the assembly?

By the time I got there, you might already have it done.

When I change bulbs I don't go from behind, I pull the headlight assemblies out. 3 bolts, hold you tongue right, and its out in 2 minutes. The harnesses are long enough as well.

I don't understand what yer sayin here, but it sounds pretty cool. Think you can come and show me how you do it.
