Need Help with HID Bulb Swap!
I just picked up a set of Philips Ultinon 6000k HID Bulbs today to replace the stock HIDs but I can't seem to get to the stock bulbs.
It looks as if there is a separate bit on the side of the projector housing preventing me from turning the bulb socket holder. Is there a special tool I need to get this out? Maybe Im doing this all wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated.
TIA...

Wouldn't attempt that myself, best to leave it to a HID professional which I don't know many places who has one not even a general dealership. It's a damn sophisticated lighting system.

Tamperproof torx bit? Is that the one with the post in the middle?
BTW, I saw the whole thing apart at Fall Colors. There's nothing special about it. Just treat the bulb like a halogen (don't touch it.) I don't remember it being removable from the cable though (at least I didn't see them separated.)
