The first step is to unclip the retaining spring of the bulb holder by moving it to the left. Carefully remove the bulb holder and to facilitate the operation, completely remove the retaining hook.

Unclip the bulb's retaining hook and take it out completely, being careful not to drop it. Remove the bulb from the holder. Fit the new bulb into the holder, ensuring it aligns with the reference notch for correct installation.

Avoid touching the bulb with your hands. Carefully reattach the bulb's retaining hook and install the assembly back into the headlamp, checking that the hooks and seal are correctly in place.
