Well either you have to twist and turn the bulb to get it out or you have to pull the radiator support.

its really not that hard...there is a small indent on either side of the OUTSIDE of the covers. push your flathead down into that and pop the sucker off. i just did it in my garage to make sure...took less than 30 sec....

well, i got it off.

but anyone who got problems with changing the h8's better beware of changing the h3's (i can change the h8 in like 3mins now..mtecs suck).

Speaking of the drivers side.
you take a flat head, pull out the 2 clips on the side.
lift the cap up a bit, use the flat head, put it in the gap on the left and turn it.
now it comes off.
Same thing with the passanger side.

But getting the bulps out is a bit of pita.
