Changing HID bulbs

Anyone know how to get to HID bulb without taking off the bumper. Manual directions arent very complete?

Piaa makes some HID headlight bulbs for our cars. Rob from Lynwood Acura has them and we parked our cars side by side, what a difference.

At $400/pair though I will wait until mine burn out.

Maybe he will take a night shot for us...

LOL. The factory ones cost about the same. Now I know why I see people who own cars with HID lights driving around with burned out bulbs.

Most people can afford nice cars these days with incentives and 0% finnancing etc. But not all people can afford to maintian them....
