it's no so difficult, just remove the rubber covering on the back of the headlight and squeeze both sides of the greasy bulb plug, then simply put on the new one and stick it back in, carefully making sure not to touch the bulb itself.
that should be about it

it's pretty simple. open the hood and look where the back of the headlamp is. you'll see a big black rubber circle about the size of a hockey puck (the weatherseal) right behind where the headlight is. there's a plug connected to it that you just pull on and it'll come off. then there's a little tab on that rubber circle and you pull on that to remove it. once that's out you can see the bulb from the back. there's a clip holding it down that looks like a large bent paperclip. it's held down on what should be the left side if you're in front of the car looking down into the engine bay. the clip has a little oval shaped piece that is right below where it's held down. just push on that piece and push it to the side a little and the clip will release. after that, just pull the light out.
to install new ones, just put the new bulb in and reverse the order of steps (push the clip down, put the weatherseal back on, and connect the plug). all this is shown in pictures in the owners manual but hopefully this helps.

Of course! If you look through some of my old posts, you might be able to see the ballasts in some of the engine bay shots. If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll take some pics for you. I was able to re-use the rubber cap and seal it out a bit better using a rubber disc that the power wires were routed through. I've got 8000K, but I'm thinking about switching out to 10000K. I have the high beam bulbs next to the HID bulbs and the highs are closer together, causing a slight cross-eyed look in the form of small blue circles when I have my lights on, hehe.
