So my passenger HID bulb finally went out after 154000 miles. After searching everywhere, I can't seem to find clear instructions on how to replace the bulb. I removed the wheel and the plastic around the fender well, this gave a decent view of the HID ballast. Do I need to remove the back of the ballast (where it says not to open becasue 25000 volts can kill)? If so, where do I get this strange screwdriver to remove the bolt? There's got to be a better way.

 

no there should be a cover for the bulb.. i dont' believe you need to open the ballasts..

 

But isn't the cover for the bulb behind the ballast? So should I need to remove the whole ballast itself rather than opening it?

 

Whatever you do, disconnect the battery before you go messing with any HID system.

 

you have to open the headlight on the backside
you loosen one screw and then turn the plastic cover to loosen
then you will see the conector on the back off the bulb turn to loosen
then replace bulb the ballast is on the underside off the headlight
