Couple of things to keep in mind:
1. when releasing the headlight using the tool from the kit, always move it towards the seating area of the car (helps avoid confusion about clockwise/anti-cw when doing it on the passenger's side headlight or the driver's side).
2. The low-beam bulb is the one higher in the headlight housing, and the high-beam bulb is the lower one.
3. Both the bulbs are the same type (H7) for halogens. So, in a pinch, you can just take the high-beam bulb and put it in the low-beam slot. You will not have high-beam on that side until you get a replacement bulb, of course.
4. Do not touch the bulb with your fingers - apparently the oil etc. present in our fingers creates hot-spots on bulbs, causing them to go out.
5. When taking the headlight out, if it doesn't seem to want to come out after the loud pop, try moving the tool just a little bit towards the front of the car (opposite of what you did to release the headlight).
It is pretty easy, and the H7 bulb is not too expensive (should be less than $20 at the dealer). Do keep in mind that you get the correct wattage - a high watt bulb will most definitely cause yellowing/melting on the inside of the headlamp.
Good luck.
