This is a pretty involved process. If you've never done this before, I don't recommend doing it. If you're comfortable tackling this job, then I do recommend you purchase a service manual from either Hanes or Chiltons. (From AutoZone) This will give you the detailed illustrations that I can't provide you.

Here's the steps for accessing your head light bulb:

Remove:
1. Front bumper facia.
2. Headlight assembly (2-bolts, 1-nut)
3. Bulb access panel (4-bolts)

*** Note***
There's several warning associated with these kinds of bulbs.

1. Don't touch the bulbs with your fingertips.
2. The HID bulbs can give you a serious shock. So disconnect the negative bat cable first, before unbolting the access cover or electrical connector.
3. There's an "arc tube" that shouldn't be touched to the sides or back of the assembly, nor with your hands or any tool.

Because of this involved process and the warnings, you should purchase a service manual.
