Default Changing HID bulb.

Need some help on changing the hid bulbs on my 2012. Took out the air box and the windshield washer tube, but I have no idea how to get at the bulbs themselves. Thanks in advance.

if its like my 2006....there is a metal bar that you flip off of a plastic door that will display a socket. untwist and use caution pulling the bulb out. im fairly sure I searched on here of how to remove the bulb the first time I did it. GL. its not hard at all.

^^^^^ what he said just take the bulb out slowly and remember which way the metal bar on the bulb is facing...it will make it a whole lot easier when you install the bulb
