Not to be impolite but There is a tool in the kit behind the spare tire you can access the headlight assembly by pulling back the carpet in the truck the manual details this very clearly.

Be careful though, as that tool is kind of a piece of ****, and can strip. I really hate the way we need to change bulbs in this car.

I believe a deep socket 10mm will do the job. Once you have engaged the nut turn slightly as it pops the housing out..it does not require multiple twists to remove it.
