Here are some pictures. What makes it difficult to swap the bulbs is that the wires runs through a rubber grommet thats located on the headlight cover. The connector is on the outside of the cover. I can't pull the wire through the grommet as the connector is too big. I can't swap the entire grommet wire/bulb assembly as the driver side is different from the passenger side. What I ended up doing (what I really didn't want to do) was to cut the wire on the inside of the cover and adding a connector there. After doing that I was able to swap the bulb and indeed the problem is the bulb. The million dollar question is where is the best place to get some HID bulbs? Alpine's HID bulbs are $25. I really don't think it cost that much.

2nd question. I still don't know why my inner headlights won't light up when I flash my high beams =(
