Replacing the front headlight bulb (H7 socket) on the passenger side is fairly simple, but you need to move the windshield washer reservoir to gain more working space to access the bulb holder. Once you open the hood, remove the mounting pin of the reservoir and shift it to disconnect and remove the protective cap located just behind the headlight.

After accessing the bulb socket, grasp the corresponding connector and gently pull to extract the bulb from the holder and proceed with the replacement.
