look in your owner's manual as it tells you how to change it all. As far as I'm concerned you do NOT have to remove the air filter unless you can't reach the bulbs (ie. you hands are too big). i remembered looking at it when i changed my parking lights (though I didn't open it).

also you don't need to unscrew the light harness or anything, just remove the back cover and replace the bulbs

to change the hid bulbs, you do need to remove the air filter box, really easy, all you need a philips screwdriver for the intake hose and a 10mm socket and 12" *approx* extention for the 3 bolts on the airbox and take off the clips holding the snorkel intake. Wear latex gloves when handling the bulbs.
