To replace the front headlight bulb (H7 base), you need to remove the headlight itself because there is not enough maneuvering space in the engine compartment. However, removing the headlight is very simple and does not require disassembling other components like the bumper.

You only need to unscrew the four mounting screws of the headlight, two on the top and the other two at the lower corners. Once the screws are removed, pull the headlight out of its housing, disconnect the power connector, remove the protective cap to access the bulb socket, disconnect the connector, and release the retaining spring of the bulb to replace it with the new one, working in reverse order.
