Changing Low beam Headlamp
Does anyone have any idea how much it costs to have the bi-xenon headlamp (D1S-35W ?) changed? The warning sign says to check the low beam headlamp, which indeed did blow out.
How long is one supposed to last?

you can do it yourself...
remove the frontbumper, turn the wheels one direction, loosen the inner fenders, there is one torx screw in the top size 20 remove that in each side.. remove the 2 screws in the top with torx 30 when you open the hood, down by the fog lights you can remove a small flap in each side and there is a size 10 lug nut that needs to be removed, and the frontbumper is of, now you can remove the headlight and change the bulb it should be around 50-100$ on ebay, its best to change them in pairs because if one is dead then its just a mather of time before the other one goes aswell
