Open the bonnet and remove the plastic cover of the lamps located behind the headlamp until it is completely detached. To access the bulbs, take out the bulb holder and carefully set it aside.

Once the bulb holder is removed, take out the spring that holds the bulb base and extract the old bulb. Insert the new bulb, taking care not to touch the glass bulb with your hands, and secure it with the spring.

Refit the bulb holder in its housing. Reattach the cover.

Repeat the same operation with the other headlamp. Check the operation by turning on the headlights.
