DIY - Without removing the bumper.
Firts you will need to remove 2 Torx screws (A) and release (about 3/4) 2 8mm sockets screews (
from the botton of the headlight. These ( are guide screews, notice that you don't need to remove them. See pics:
Now you could pull the headlight and get about 3 inches of free space to remove the low beam cover and get access to the HID bulbs. To release the HID socket you will need to release the clamp and rotate(left) the socket. Replace the bulbs and all procedure back.
