2008 Malibu-
The steps needed to replace the headlight bulb are as follows:
1. Open the hood and remove the plastic cover above the radiator (14 screws).
2. Jack up the car and remove the wheel (five lug nuts).
3. Remove the wheel-well liner (15 screws and pop-rivets).
ED: Inner fender?
4. This exposes two bolts that hold the bumper in place; remove these bolts and slide off the end of the bumper.
5. Now, you can reach the three bolts that hold in the headlight assembly; remove the headlight assembly and replace the bulb.
6. Replace everything (29 screws, nuts, bolts, and pop-rivets).
