To replace the left front headlight bulb (driver's side) on this car model, you must remove the headlight, as the battery is located behind it and there isn't enough room to work; removing the headlight is very simple as there are no undercut elements, just open the front bonnet and unscrew the relevant securing pins, one at the top on the bonnet catch panel, and the other at the inner corner towards the grille; once the headlight is removed, unclip the bulb holder and replace the bulb.
