Assuming you want to change the D2S low beam HID bulb,
Passenger side: remove the flex duct between the rad support & air filter box (Bentley says to remove the air box but I found it wasn't needed, and is a real PITA). Pry over the two metal spring clips holding the plastic cover on the rear of the headlight. Disconnect the insulated wire going into the bulb (pull straight off). Turn the black plastic ring holding the bulb and remove it. Reverse for installation. DO NOT touch the glass on the new bulb at any time as the residue from your fingers will cause it to fail very quickly (like tomorrow!). The drivers side is similar without the air duct. You will have to remove the plastic shroud on the reservoir behind the headlight to gain access.[/align]

I just changed my bulb. The driver side headlight assembly is the easier of the two to get to. Just remove the retainers and slide it off. You have to be creative. Even pictures won't help you. It's just whether you are good at knowing your angles.
