changing the head lamp

The passenger side head lamp of my '99 Accord is burned out. Is it easy to replace the bulb? Can I do it by myself? If yes, can anyone please outline a few quick steps to do it.

Thanks,

Unplug the wire, then the bulb comes out the back of the headlamp assembly with 1/4-turn. The possible difficulty is reaching the bulb, or removing stuff that's in your way.

And all this is accessible from under the hood? And are the bulbs pretty generic?

Autoparts stores will have replacement bulbs for your accord.

The sylvania site says that your low beam is 9006.
