Replacing the front headlamp bulb is a straightforward DIY maintenance task. To simplify the process, it is advisable to remove the headlamp, which is secured with just two screws.

To aid extraction, also remove the clips securing the plastic trim covering the grille. Once the plastic trim is free, unscrew the headlamp fixing screws and pull it forward, disconnect the power connector for the bulb, remove the rubber cap, unclip the bulb retaining spring, and replace it with the new bulb, reversing the steps for reassembly.
