Default How do you change HID Light bulbs?

Can anyone tell me how or where to open to change the bulb? I don't see it under the hood. Do I need to get behind the front tires or take off the bumber? Is it worth doin it myself?

Turn the wheel in one direction and pull back on the fender liner to reach the rear of the headlight. You will need a anti-tamper torx driver to remove the bolt for the bulb cover.

It will be a lot easier if you remove the wheel and the fender liner. The space is very small to work with with just the wheel turning all the way in.

don't go crazy on the plastic splash guard, they crack/tear if you fold them too close(well, at least the older plastic guard like mine will)

No. I wanted to change the bulb to a 8000K bulb.
