I had mine replaced under warranty by the dealer and according to them it is a one hour labor job that requires partial drop of the front bumper. Sounds a little far-fetched. I'd like to hear from others....

i am guessing u have halogens. just get the LED bulbs and do an upgrade 
lemme know if you would like to upgrade to LED angel eyes. May have error messages after upgrade or simply get a bulb from the nearest car parts store.
All u have to do is open the circular thing, yank the wire out with the bulb, pull the bulb, then swap it. then plug it back in
