has them for $125

I doubt very much that it would come with instructions.

The Bentley manual says the left headlight has to be removed (no room to
just remove the bulb out the back). To do that you remove the 2 screws on
top and loosen several turns 2 screws near the backside of the headlight.
Then it slides forward...

Don't touch the glass of the new bulb with your bare hands.
