To replace the LED or Xenon bulbs in the ANGEL EYES headlights, you must completely remove the front light assembly. Unscrew the retaining screws and gently pull it out from its housing, disconnecting the electrical connector.

Place the assembly on a support and remove the bulb holder for the high beam light. Do not touch the glass bulb with your hands.

Next, remove the Angel Eyes headlight bulb and disconnect the electrical contacts, which you will reattach to the new bulb. Reinstall the two bulb holders in their respective positions and reposition the headlight assembly in its housing, connecting the corresponding connector.

Screw in the retaining screws.
