XC70 2005 How to replace a dipped Xenon bulb?

The bulb to be replaced is the D2R 35W Bi-Xenon dipped bulb on the n/s.The handbook says dealer service item.How do I do this myself? I know that a high voltage is a problem but getting to it seems even more of a problem.

Just tried to replace the Bi Xenon bulb on the N/R side,[UK],but didn't get very far because the airfilter housing is in the way !Can anyone help? It should be simple to change a bulb even if it is charged upto 25000volts.The airfilter housing has to come out or I've gotta have smaller hands!So how does it come out asit seems held in by 3 plastic push fasteners-do thes have to be snapped off and replaced?
any help on this would be great.
