Replacing the front headlight bulb (H7 fitting) on the passenger side of this car model requires removing the engine air filter box to have enough working space. Start by loosening the clamps securing the mass air flow meter (MAF) to remove it, then remove the cover of the air filter box, take out the filter, and unmount the housing base.

This is a good opportunity to replace the filter and clean the box. At this point, remove the protective cap from behind the headlight, extract the old bulb, and replace it with the new one, ensuring it is seated and locked correctly in its housing.
