Replacing headlight

Any short cut or trick to replace a headlight bulb, 2009 drivers side?

Not really, turn wheels to right, pull inner fender pins & bolts, peel back inner fender, swap bulbs.

Careful not to touch the new bulb. Even oils from fingers can shorten bulb life.
I still wipe mine with alcohol last..

Sleepers got it, but also assure you remove the bulb gasket when you remove the bulb. They have a nasty habit of "sticking" in the housing. The new bulb will not fit, if this happens. And the new bulb comes with a new gasket in place.
