How to change a head light bulb, please help !!!!?

hi everyone, i was just wondering if any of you know how to change a head light bulb of a 2004 acura tl, i already went to the dealer and they are charging me just a lot or i think its what it cost but just cant afford it for now and i guess i am changing them myself., i can buy the bulbs but thats all plus they are about 120 each and i have to buy both of them because there would be a difference if i change just the burned one.


by the way they are the Low Beam


D2S HID capsule


PLEASE HELP !!!!|||The bulb is expensive because it%26#039;s a High Intensity Discharge (HID) bulb. Buy it from %26quot;Auto Parts World%26quot;. Changing the bulb yourself is not too difficult. You may be able to simply twist it (directly behind the headlight assembly), then pull it away from the headlight. Or you may need what is called a %26quot;T-2 Torx%26quot; screwdriver. It%26#039;s screwdriver that has a point shaped like a star. You can get a torx screwdriver at any decent hardware store. You use the torx tool to unscrew the black plastic housing. Twist the housing to loosen it. The bulb can then be removed. DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS PART OF THE NEW BULB WITH YOUR BARE HANDS.|||The reason they charge so much is because, you may have to remove other components to reach them. but, $120. sounds like a lot. That%26#039;s just the bulb or the whole asembly? Anyway, you probably have to remove a cover orf some sort from the back of the assembly behind the bulb. Then there should be a clip. A piece of thin metal that sort of resembles a paper clip. Unhook it and pull out the bulb and unplug it. You mostly need a flash light and probably some basic tools.
