I don't have HID's but I did change out my bulbs. The easiest thing way to get to the drivers side housing is to take it off. It's not hard, 3 bolts if memory serves me. the it just comes strait out of the front.

Once you pull the headlight out some, you will be able to get you hand around behind it to turn the plastic lock ring counter clockwise to unlock the bulb from the housing.
