Undo the battery retaining arm and slide the battery back a little, 1 bolt holds the overflow bottle in place, undo that and lift the bottle up, you will see the back of the headlight then.
If you have twin batteries then do the same on the other side with the wash bottle.
No need to undo the batteries as they will move backward far enough to access the headlamps.
Replaced both of mine today with brighter lights

On mine you also have to remove the air intake pipe from the passenger side behind the headlight to get at the lamp. It makes it easier to take out that battery but as Keith said the Drivers side doesn't need to come out, just slide back.

Is the sidelight on a 96 Surf the same idea?
