I don't think that it is all that hard. You go in through the front fender. Search for the specifics but I think you first remove the front wheel. Then remove an access panel by pulling some push pins. Then there is a rubber boot inside that you snap off giving you access to the rear of the bulbs. The bulbs are removed with a 1/4 turn and unsnap the bulb from the harness. Just reverse the process to re-install. Don't touch the new bulbs with your bare hand because the oil from your fingers will ruin HID bulbs. If you have to touch the glass, use a clean cotton cloth.
