Best Answer

Do not touch the HID bulb with your bare fingers, may cause damage to the bulb.

1. Remove the top front cover by partially unscrewing and pulling up on 6 plastic fasteners.

2. Unclip the wire spring retaining the HID cover(s). You may remove the wire clip to provide a little more room to work.

3. Open the cover (confined area) and move it towards the fender. The cover is held in place by a wire clip spring on the bottom of the headlamp, moving it towards the fender and pulling up will remove the cover from the spring clip.

4. Remove the cover from the back of the headlamp unit.

5. You will now see a square silver object (the igniter) held in place by flat metal springs. The HID bulb is part of the igniter.

6. Carefully pull out the HID unit and disconnect the cable by pulling on it. May use a long needle-nose pliers.

7. Replace with new bulbs and reverse the above sequence.

NOTE: If this is your first time, it may take a little over an hour to complete the process, please have patience.
