That's for the psgr side.

One guy (w/ small hands) said he did it by removing the pins holding the rubber membrane and reaching down and removing the socket.

Others have dropped the fender liner and gone in that way.

YMMV

Dude, that's like saying putting on your shirt is just like putting on your pants except for all of the differences.

Removing the fender liner etc is a little different than removing the air box.

Thanks guys, I was able to replace. I removed the two screws on top holding light in place with a 10mm socket. Then I was able to wiggle it out enough to reach in and get to the bulb(lowbeam). But I must say there is a lot of stuff behind the light windshield fluid, frame etc..
