Open the hood and ensure it is securely supported. It is recommended to perform this operation after the headlights have been turned off for a sufficient time to cool the bulbs.

Access the back of the headlight, disconnect the original bulb, and unplug the connector. At this point, replace the original bulb with a compatible LED bulb by first connecting it to the power socket and then inserting it into the headlight housing.

Once the installation is complete, turn on the headlights and check the proper functioning of the newly installed bulb.
