I am contemplating a 2011 Explorer and examining the models and options.
Looking at the owners manual, I noticed that it lists replacement procedures for most light bulbs, except for HID headlights where it directs to 'contact the dealer for replacement'. I certainly would not want a car that I need to take to a dealer to change a light bulb!
I am curious (considering that halogen bulbs usually cost $10-20, last at least few years, and are usually easy to replace)
1. How difficult it is to replace the HID bulb / other required parts?
2. What is the type and cost of a replacement HID bulb / other required parts (ballast?)
