Replacing the headlight bulb requires following a few specific steps, but overall it is a fairly simple task to perform. Turn off the engine and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before proceeding.

Once done, go to the bottom of the bumper and remove all the screws to free the plastic cover. Next, do the same for the screws located directly in front of the tire.

Now, remove the cover, and at the top of the frame, you will see the bundle of wires connected to the headlight. Disconnect the connector and remove the bulb.

Insert the new one and reconnect the connector. Reinstall all the screws removed earlier and properly reposition the plastic cover.
