Although it may seem like a complicated task, replacing the front headlight on your vehicle is actually quite simple. Before proceeding with the steps, remember to turn off the engine and disconnect the car battery to work safely.

Once done, go to the front tire (on the side of the bulb you want to replace) and locate a small plastic cap under the wheel cover. Remove the screw with a Torx wrench and take off the cap. You will find another plastic cap. Remove this one as well to access the bulb.

Unscrew it by turning it clockwise and disconnect the connector. Replace it with a new one and reconnect the connector.

Finally, reposition the various covers correctly and reconnect the battery.
