You don't open it up! The bulb comes with the square igniter and the whole thing is inserted into the back of the headlamp once the old one is removed. There is a spring type mesh surrounding the aperture where the bulb / igniter unit is carefully inserted. Make sure you wear some clean latex gloves or similar to avoid touching the bulb with your hands - oil from your skin on the bulb will shorten the lifespan.

It will be like this if it's a D1S bulb:
