There is in my manual for a 2004 (USA/Canada) p. 100 - sounds like you don't have Xenons, and you are replacing the Halogen HIGH beam. Hopefully on the driver's side as I see you have to remove the heavy (if full) windshield washer resevoir to get at the passsenger-side ones. Looks like that springy metal clip/retainer rotates in a horizontal plane to unlock rather than the intuitive vertical. As yours has come out completely, I think you would have to relocate it in both an upper hole and a lower one which will be hidden from view.
Don't forget the warning about wearing gloves and eye protection.
Good luck, and post again when you have to replace a backup bulb with how you did it as that is definitely not covered in the owners manual.
