I need help with installing hid bulb

So today i finally got my hid bulbs and i got to work.. I jacked up the car which took me an hour to figure out how to do it.(my car is lowered) Then i took off the wheels and the clips and screws for the plastic part. I end up not knowing how to take the hid bulb off. Can someone help me?

Just take the front bumper off, take the headlight out, and then do it. Much easier and you can see what you're doing.

no you need to take the bumper off ive done it without having to remove the tires its easier then it sounds once your car is jacked if you know what to look for itll take 5-15 min

hey man no need to take bumper off just jack it up,remove the wheel,drop the fenderliner, then you will see a grey round cover,twist that off,then you will see the bulb,its held in with a clip undo the clip and take the bulb out. ots pretty easy i made the mistake of getting the bulbs switched up left on the right and right on the left. anyways just make sure when u take the left one out match it up with the one ur putting in. there are grooves that needs to line up..
