I need to replace a front headlight

I need to replace a front headlight
I have a 2011 Honda Fit Sport. I need to replace this exact light on this side of the car.(this is not actually my car)
It looks pretty easy to get to. Looks like there's some wires that connect to this plastic thing that has three cylinders. Is there anything special I need to do? Do I have to unhook the battery so it doesn't electrocute me? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

From the online Fit/Jazz repair manual:
Front Position Light
Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the front position light.
Front Position Light: 5W
Turn the bulb socket (B) 45 ° counterclockwise to remove the bulb (C) from the headlight housing.
Install a new bulb in the reverse order of removal.
That is all there is to it......

i just did this last weekend. Went with LEDs. Simple job assuming your hands aren't too huge. Hardest part was getting a grip on the socket to rotate it so it would come out. Then just take out the old light, pop in the new one, and twist it back in. done.

I went through the manual so I could make sure to do this for myself in the future. This is the only page I could find for replacing the front position light.

I also found some schematics for the circuitry as well, but not how to replace it... So, I freely admit I'm an idiot, but where did you find those instructions?
