Default HID headlight replacement and where to get bulb ?s

Pretty self-explanatory title...

As I was warming up my car and digging out of the snow the left hand low beam went out which by all appearances is the HID bulb. Any walkthru on how to change out the bulb (is it fairly easy? I haven't even looked really).

Also any ideas on where I can get the closest bulb replacement at the cheapest cost? I've got to go out of town on Tuesday so I've basically got to find the bulb and have it overnighted or something by then.

Also will any D2R bulb work? If so I found what appears to be a great deal on them here for a pair of 8000k bulbs for $49.00...

Thanks for any help!

the right one was easy, there was plenty of room. good luck with the left one, i tore and bruised up my hands today trying to get that stupid bulb out. i would recommend taking the whole headlight out, those bulbs are expensive to break on accident. theres a thread on how to take the bumper off. good luck
