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?

well first of all you dont need to jack up the car or take off the wheels.
1. remove bumper
2. remove headlight bolts ( i believe there are 3 on each side)
3. remove headlight ( there is a connector in the back that is a pain to disconnect )
and from here you can remove bulb and ballast.

I found that easier to just remove the wheels, fender liners and the headlamps are right in there.

yea you can take your wheel off and do it that way, but the bumper off to me is faster and easier to me. Thats how i did mine.

Besides, I thought you had to be at the bare minimum a Premiere Member to offer services & a Vendor to sell & advertise.
