To replace the bulb of the side turn signal light, you need to remove the light assembly. Open the hood and locate the plastic clip that secures the light assembly.

Pull the light assembly forward to remove it. Disconnect the bulb holder and replace the old bulb with the new one, ensuring it fits correctly in its socket. Then, reposition the light assembly by sliding it into the side guides on the headlamp and reattach the plastic clip.

It is advisable to check the proper functioning before reassembling everything.
