The task performed in this video explains how to switch from bi-xenon light to LED light, but what we are primarily interested in is accessing the headlight and changing the burnt-out bulb. This is done from the rear, specifically from the wheel arch, so this is what you need to remove first to access the area of interest.

After that, widen the plastic tabs that secure the bulb holder and remove the bulb, disconnecting the power connector. The final step is to insert the replacement bulb and reassemble everything that was previously removed.
