Default xenon bulb replacement

hi, i have a 2004 cl600 and would like to know the procedure for replacing the xenon bulbs. the manual says that these are high voltage and recomends bringing it ti the dealer. any input. also i have been researching xenon bulbs and found sylvania 6000k 35 watt bulbs online for significantly less than the dealer. any problem with after market xenon bulbs? the vendor says these are the correct bulbs for my car.

I only used after market bulbs once.
Burnt out within a week.
No issue changing them yourself. Car off. Lights off. Dont handle bulbs with bare hands. Contamination can result in premature burn out. Cheap rubber type glove works. Some models difficult to get hand into location.

Bulb replacement is a bit hard and it requires technical skills to do it. i will suggest you to better take it to the dealer of mechanic who has a proper knowledge about the xenon kits
