To replace the driver side headlight is easier than the passenger side headlight bulb.
The following PDF file explains how to replace the standard bulbs with HID bulbs, but the method of removing and replacing the bulbs themselves is the same. You have to move the coolant overflow tank out of the way to access the passenger side bulb after that it is the same as the driver side bulb replacement.

It is very important to install the bulb correctly otherwise it will not point at the road properly.
I have added a photo which shows the bulb installed, with the rubber cover removed. The photo was taken using a mirror.
Some people remove the spring clip to remove the bulb, I released it from the catch and lifted it up, it has been dropped and lost before and I figured it was just as easy to keep it attached.

Talking about bulbs...
I had the DRL module installed at Seven View and it worked. This the good part but the funny thing is that when I wanted my old US module back they said there was nothing there?? Huh, pretty strange.
Since I had already switched the country code from USA to Canada before at Dixie Chrysler I am not sure this is really needed or not. I think I just trashed 100 bucks for it.
When I think everything is ready the big surprise! Those tiny bulbs in the headlights are not there anymore!!! I am sure they were there so either one removed them to screw me more.
So pissed...
Very bad dealers experience so far...

rectifying...
was poking around and figured out that the bulbs are there but they were not switching on once the car was kicked off. after playing a bit with the light switch something magic happened and they came on. maybe a kind of reset, do not know.
well i am happy again...

SparkieSRT6 I bought the switch which is a complete assembly with fuses already installed for $432 from a Chrysler dealer in vaughan and did the install myself. Just a few harnesses to plug in. The hardest part was taking apart the lower dash panel under the steering wheel and the lower left dash piece where the switch mounts. The whole job took about an hour.
drew_o_o The aftermarket DRL module can be hooked into the fog lights, which works fine, but the headlamp warning light comes on in the dash. I hate warning lights. After the safety unhook the connection and turn the lights on manually.
Good Lord. Five hundred bucks for Chrysler switch module DRL's!? ... when as drew points out, you can do it with a $39.95 DRL kit from any auto parts store.

The forty-dollar kit works just fine, and looks just jolly hooked up to the fog lamps ... in fact MUCH better than DRL's in the headlamp module. And yes, it does cause the idiot lamp-out light to show on the dash, but nothing that covered with a wee dot of electrical tape cannot solve.

Five hundred bucks!? ... bah.
