This operation does not take much time and is easy to perform. It should be done with the engine off and the battery, if possible, disconnected.

Once you locate the position of the bulb to be changed on the headlight, remove the corresponding cover by disengaging it from its metal clips, and prepare to replace the bulb. As space for the operation is very limited, it is advisable to unlock the headlight itself by unscrewing the bolts that hold it in place and pulling it slightly forward.

For safety, it is good practice to check the bulb codes required in your owner's manual before purchasing them and proceeding with their replacement.
