How to change HID bulbs?
Already?? HID capsules should outlast halogen bulbs by a considerable margin. You might be able to get them covered under warranty if they burned out prematurely. You're not planning to do something foolish like change them to 8000K or higher color temperature?
I had to change my passenger side bulb after 3 months. Ford wanted over $400 cad for the bulb. Bought 1 online for $75.
There is a cover on the back of the headlight housing that twist's off. Then the bulb is held into the housing by friction from several metal tabs. There is a short cable that plugs into the bulb. I found it very difficult to get the new bulb in without bending the metal tabs. It is a very finicky task in a very cramped space. Although it was dark and snowing when I did mine lol.
There is an online service manual here http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=499
