Default Help with Headlights

After trying to replace my low-beam headlamp, and failing. I decided to look in the manual. It says the HID low-beam headlampls should be serviced by the dealer, but gives info on how to replace all of the other lamps.

Mine is a 2005, that has had this bulb burn out several times, so I wanted to do it myself.

Has anyone done this, or know what parts are required?

Thanks,

John

The difficult part is getting the bulbs removed/installed without dropping the two mounting screws. They are a torx head and you need a torx screwdriver with a slim shank and a magnetic tip. Jack the front up, remove the tire and open the top cover by removing the push pins. If you mess up one of the push pins, they are available at you nearest parts house( 1/4")
