can anyone help me install HIDs in stock maxima?

hey guys i have a 2002 maxima and i want to change out the HIDs to a higher kelvin. unfortunately i am not sure how to properly remove the stock HIDs bulbs. I looked out the housing and it doesn't seem like i have to remove the entire housing to change out the one bulb. btw it has the anti-theft device thing on it so if i did i don't know how i will be taking it off. well anyways can some help me here so i know exactly how to remove stock HID bulbs so that i can install the newer higher kelvin HID bulbs. thanks for your help.

Higher K = lower light output, leave the stock ones in there. That's IMO.

IMO, I think it's easier to just take out the whole headlamp housing. Much easier to work with, and avoiding any damage to the bulb.
