In this video, see how to change the bulb on a Ford Mustang MK5: access the bulbs from under the bonnet, but there isn't enough space due to an air intake, which you will need to remove; it will be sufficient to remove one bolt to do so. Now, move the connector tab down, then remove the bulb by turning it counterclockwise.

Replace the bulb with an LED one and align it with the upper tab of the bulb holder, which must match a notch in the housing.

Turn the bulb holder clockwise and replace the connector. For optimal light, the bulb must be vertically aligned with the LED beam facing outwards, which can be done using the Allen key included in the package.

Replace the air intake and repeat the process on the other side.
