Due to aging and weather conditions, headlamps tend to yellow and need to be replaced. To replace the front headlamp, open the bonnet and position the headlamps in the open position; then unscrew the side retaining screws to remove the frame around the projector, allowing access to the fixing screws of the projector itself.

Once the frame is removed, you can take out the headlamp projector and replace it with the new one: then connect the bulb power connector and proceed in reverse for reassembly, securing the frame and the covering plastic.
