How to replace the headlight bulb in a Lada Niva

Part: Headlight bulb

In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the headlight bulb in a Lada Niva by following a few simple steps: the first thing you need to do is remove the plastic front grille by unscrewing the six fixing screws. Once the six screws are removed, take out the plastic grille from its location. Using a cross-head screwdriver, unscrew the fixing screws of the headlight and then remove the headlight from its location. Now, disconnect the cable by pulling the tab outward. Place the headlight on a table for easier access, unclip the bulb retaining spring, and remove the old bulb from its socket. Replace the old bulb with a new working one (H4 halogen bulb); reassemble all parts in reverse order.
