The direction-indicator and reverse-lamp steps call for a screwdriver. The headlamp steps do not name a tool beyond the service cap.

Base low beam is H9. Base high beam is HB3. Base turn is T20 amber. Base fog is H8. Rear turn is T20 amber. Reverse is T20. Rear side marker is W5W.
High beam: remove the service cap, turn the bulb counterclockwise, pull it out, and disconnect the connector. Low beam: remove the cap, disconnect the connector, then turn the bulb counterclockwise and pull it out. Install in reverse.
Optional headlamps, the base side marker, optional fog lamps, tail and brake lamps, the license plate lamp, the high-mount brake lamp, and interior lamps are marked LED. The chart sends those to a dealer.
The fog-lamp steps say to turn the steering wheel fully to the opposite side, remove six lower splash-shield push pins, pull the shield back, disconnect the bulb, and turn it counterclockwise. The rear direction-indicator steps remove a bolt cover, a bolt, and the lamp, then turn the lower socket counterclockwise. Those sequences are written in the manual and are not redrawn.
