You may have experienced a headlight bulb burning out due to a voltage spike or simply from age. You can replace it yourself without needing an electrician. First, check that you have a spare bulb, which is very useful in case of emergencies; if you don't have one, get one that is identical to the ones you already use. Each bulb has its own installation procedure.

Once you remove the non-functioning bulb, open the hood and you will see two screws and a tab; unscrew them and pull the tab so that the headlight protrudes slightly to give you some space for the bulb replacement. Next, unscrew the cap connected to the socket and the bulb itself, disconnect it, and replace it with a new, working one.
