Answer
Carl,

You can purchase a Haynes Manual or go on-line to nissantechinfo.com and purchase the factory service manual in .pdf format and download it for around $20 bucks for an hour of access.  If yours is an HID bulb the cost is mostly the bulb.  And, if you are not familiar with HID then I would let them do it.  But, if you feel comfortable just jack up the car on the driver's side and remove the tire to get access to the inner fender well.  Remove the clips and screws and you now have access to the back of the headlight assembly.  Remove the access cover on the assembly and you will find the back of the bulb.  If it just a turn and the access cover comes off and then the same for the bulb.
