I believe that if you do it wrong, you can actually electrocute yourself off of the HID capacitator, so be careful or get s/b who knows to help you. I was told this is not like the 'pulled a spark wire' shock, but a real lethal charge.

The front headlight assembly is accessible through a panel in the front wheelwell. Either turn the wheels inwards or jack the car up and remove the wheel.

You should consider upgrading to higher performance D1S bulbs such as the Philips Xtreme Vision or White Vision Gen 2.
