Open the trunk and then the small access panel located on the side to reach the back of the headlight. If there is an emergency accessory kit inside, remove it. At this point, you should see the headlight connector: disconnect it by pressing the sides and releasing the clips while pulling it out. Remove the three 8 mm screws as shown in the video.

Now you can take out the headlight. If your goal is to change a bulb, now that you have the headlight in hand, you can unscrew the back and replace it. If you want to change the entire headlight, simply install the new one by reversing the steps.
