Remove the front headlight on Porsche 911. Open the hood by pulling the lever inside the cabin and secure it. Remove the cover cloth next to the headlight, then use the provided wrench to unscrew the retaining bolts in the hole inside the trunk. Once the locking bolts are removed, take the headlight out of the front bumper.

Pull the socket out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulb with the help of a screwdriver. Install the headlight (new if damaged) with new bulbs (always the correct type and size) in the front bumper housing.

Test the correct operation of the bulbs and the headlight.
