The working space available for replacing the front headlight bulb is limited; however, with patience, the operation can be carried out without removing anything from the engine bay. The first step is to remove the protective cap of the bulb holder secured with a metal clip: release the clip and remove the cap; at this point, you can access the bulb holder and replace the bulb: a pair of long-nosed pliers can be useful to easily disconnect the connector and extract the bulb.
