If you notice that the side light bulb is not working or the onboard computer indicates a fault, it is important, as well as mandatory, to replace it promptly. Failure to replace it may result in a fine.

To do this manually, purchase a new bulb from a parts supplier; it is a W5W all-glass bulb. Turn off the car and open the front bonnet.

Position yourself in front of the headlight to be serviced and unclip, by reaching into the bonnet, the lever that holds the inner cover of the headlight. Even though there is little space on the left side, you will not need to remove anything to unclip the two side clips and remove the cover.

Without removing the headlight, from the inside, pull out the connector where the faulty bulb is inserted. Fit the new bulb, turn on the ignition to check if it works, and reassemble everything.
