Default changing headlights

How do you get to the passenger side headlight in a 91 ls 400? I need to change the bulb.

You could either remove the air filter and reach through the back to access the bulb:

or take out the entire headlight assembly bracket (headlight+fog) by removing one screw on the top of the parking light to remove it first, then by removing an additional nut that is exposed after you take off the parking light, and lastly another 3-4 screws on the headlight bracket itself.

I just wanted to add that when removing the outside most part of the headlight (the marker light) You must pull on it pretty hard. There is a metal plug (nipple?) that holds it in place, which snaps into a plastic gromet. The first time I did this I thought I was going to break it. Just give it a firm pull at about 45 degrees away from the front of the car, thats the way the plug faces I believe.
