Just jack up the car and get under it... you'll see a big black metal canister under there with a bolt sticking out of the right corner. Its a 14mm bolt. Take it out, let the oil drain for about 20 minutes+ until its all out, and put the bolt back in. Then unscrew the filter... more oil will come out of there... take the old filter and put a decent amount of the oil thats on/in the filter onto the thread and metal part of the new filter. Then screw the new filter in. Then pour the required amount of new oil into the engine and you're done. Wipe off any oil that might have spilled or anything, and take the car for a spin around the block. Then check for any leaks. If there are none, you're done for 3000 (or 5000 if you used synthetic oil) miles. Good luck.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.
