Replacing a Faulty Front Headlamp Bulb

Model: Mitsubishi Lancer MK 9 - Years 2007-2020
Part: Headlight bulb

It can happen that a bulb blows, and in that case, you need to replace it without necessarily seeking the help of an electrician. This guide shows how to proceed with the replacement correctly. Once you have a new bulb, work on replacing it. After removing the faulty bulb, open the bonnet and you will notice two screws and a tab; unscrew them and pull the tab so that the headlamp protrudes slightly to create 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, functioning one.
