How is the Bi Xenon headlight bulb replaced

Can't figure it out. It's a 2011. Need to replace a bulb ASAP.

Apparently it's an H13, which doesn't seem to be the case once you take off the back cover. Very confused right now, and I drive when it's dark. Already pulled over for it.
2 dealerships don't even know

Factory HIDs are supposed to be a D1S, but yours seems to have been converted to D2S? H13 is the halogen headlight bulb.

It's a D1S. I returned the H13 bulb.
I managed to break it free from the housing. There was no way to twist the stupid thing. Housing is intact, although the cage is a little bent. I'll order a new set, but this is extremely odd considering the other side was exactly the way it's supposed to be, came right out together.

That’s NOT D1S, someone was in there before you.

I would get a couple new D1S bulbs and get it back to correct.
