This car model has the headlights integrated into the front bonnet rather than in the grille like other models. Once the bonnet is open, remove the rubber cap behind the headlight to access the bulb.

Disconnect the power connector and the retaining spring of the bulb, then pull it out of its housing and insert the new one, aligning it correctly. Secure the new bulb with the spring, reconnect the power connector, and replace the rubber cap. For the fog light bulb, simply detach the bulb holder and replace the bulb (T10 fitting).
