It's easy. All you need to do is go behind the headlight housing from the engine bay and take off the cover to access the bulb. I believe on your car they are HID (high intensity discharge) low beam projection bulbs. You MUST disconnect the battery before messing with these; they put out serious voltage that can hurt you. Unplug the connection on the bulb's base and twist it off. When installing these DO NOT TOUCH the bulb itself as the oils on your hands will cause the bulb to burn out prematurely. Then replace the cover behind the headlight and you're done.
