Just go buy the matching bulb, I am not sure whether you need to pull the whole lamp out or you can access the bulb, if there are screw on the top of the light then just undo them and slide it out. Pull the bulb out and then go to an auto part store and buy the same bulb. Make sure when you put it in and take it from the package to put a glove on or use a paper towel. It's the oil on your hands that is bad for it, it can make the bulb's life drop by years. Depending on the socket you should be able to just push it in (Possibly twist it in to socket) and you're done. If you have questions message me.

Check your owners manual. Usually it is as simple as opening the hood, finding the back of the headlamp housing, turning the plastic housing that holds the bulb so that it slides out. Once you have the bulb and holder out of the housing, you just turn the actual bulb so it pops out. Replace it with a new one (don't touch the bulb if it is halogen) and reverse everything you just did. No need to unhook the battery, just leave the car off and there won't be power going to the light.
It's a hard complicated job. You may want to reconsider spending the $50.
