Pull the old one out and put the new one in. I don't think it is very difficult.

If I remember correctly on the '96, the battery is under the intake tube. There should be a mark showing you the positive side.

Thanks, I'll I get my husband to check there for the battery. As for the headlight bulb - he has attempted to replace it like all of the other vehicles we have but it looks like the whole assembly has to come out - I guess I should have been more specific with my question. Does the whole assembly have to come out to replace a light bulb?

yes you have to take out the two allen bolts on the top of the headlight then pull the headlight part way out to get to the bulb. to get to the battery itself you need to take off the driver side wheel and remove the inner fender.

Was, they changed it again, although I don't like it.
