Lift the bonnet and free the headlight by unscrewing the screws that secure it. Now you can lift it for better access to work behind it. Disconnect the connectors attached to the headlight. Now that it is completely free, remove the protective caps from the bulb sockets.

Rotate the bulb to remove it while still connected to the wires. Take the new bulb and reconnect it to the wires.

Then, reposition it in its original place, taking care not to touch the bulb with your hands as it is very sensitive. Reassemble everything by reversing the steps described earlier.
