How to replace Headlight HID bulbs?

If anyone can help me find a drawing on how to replace the headlight HID bulbs from an 05 G35 Coupe.
Since the Owners Manual just says take it to the dealer in the Healight section, how can I do it myself?
Is there a website or some other forum with detailed instructions?
I searched here and cant find anything with drawings or insturctions.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Peace. 1.

There used to be a thread with detailed pics... After the site went through remodelling, I cant find it anymore. Someone with DIY pics?

yup, just put in my 6Ks today. The driver side was a bit harder to do than the passenger side because there is more room to work with on the passenger side.

ill post some pics once it gets dark.

when you guys take pics of the lights at night...flash or no flash???

Removing the front bumper just makes taking out the headlight easier.
