Jack her up or go up on some ramps, slide under her, remove the valance and replace like most any other automobile bulb. Or if you want to give it a good cleaning, remove the (3 screws I believe it is) holding the bezel in.

I have it in the back of my mind that there are three different non-interchangeable bulb configurations in the spotlights, and you don't know which one it is until you have taken the unit apart. Just to add to the fun, they are not commonly available from the usual auto part suppliers either. Ask me how I know?

They are HB4 bulbs standard throughout the X308 Range, access is as Highhorse says, but bear in mind the connector may be a bit stiff. There is also an adjustment screw there if you want to aim them better.

I bought my bulbs from eBay as it’s easier than going to a shop.
