Default Headlight replacement

I just noticed that the driver side headlight of my car went out. Note that the high beam works perfectly...but the low beam is the one that has the problem. The other one at the side of the low beam also works. I hope I got the message across.

Im a little short on cash and wanted to know what would be the cost of getting it replaced at an automotive location.

Thanks.

You can get a standard bulb for $10-15 bucks. Pop the hood, you'll see 4 bulbs, the inner bulbs are the high beams, outer bulbs are low beams. The bulbs are removed by turning the base/connector counterclockwise about 1/4 turn and then it pulls out. Don't touch the glass part of the bulb or it won't last.
Should be about a 2 min installation in the parking lot of the parts store.

yeah, keep in mind the bulb has to be disconnected otherwise it won't turn. an auto shop my charge .1 to .2 labor to replace it.

It should tell you in your owner's manual on how to change your headlight bulb.
