Open the hood and ensure it is securely supported. Release the retaining tab of the turn signal (by inserting a screwdriver into the designated hole on the inner edge of the fender) and remove it by disconnecting the connector.

Detach the plastic cover under the headlight; remove the 4 mounting screws of the headlight, disconnect the connectors from the bulb holders, and pull the headlight forward to extract it. Reposition the headlight in its housing and tighten the 4 mounting screws, reconnect the connectors to their respective bulb holders, reattach the lower plastic cover, and finally the side turn signal.
