    It is not be too difficult to replace the Xenon light bulb. Ensure you do not touch the glass of the new bulb as that will drastically reduce the "life" of the new light bulb. Ensure the light switch is off (no power being supplied to the bulb). Xenon light bulbs use very high voltage. Each head light uses a transformer to raise your battery supplied 12 volts to very high voltage by using a transformer. Undue care when replacing the bulb may result in you being shocked.
