How do you change the headlight bulbs on a 97 cavalier?

I cant seem to find a way to get at the back side of the headlights to switch the bulb... Do i need to take out the whole headlight assembly? If I do how do i do that?How do you change the headlight bulbs on a 97 cavalier?The headlamp assemby does need to be removed. There may be some plastic wing nuts on top or they may be the 10mm bolts.

They are usually on the metal cross member behind the head lamps. Then the bulb is just a twist to the left and pull. There may also be a small plastic lock tab preventing the bulb socket to turn.
