To replace the front headlight bulb, you must remove the headlight itself: open the front bonnet and ensure it is securely supported, remove the plastic cover over the battery compartment, the washer reservoir fill tube, and disconnect the fuse box cover.

Disconnect the intake hose from the air filter housing and unscrew the headlight fastening screws to remove it from its housing and place it on a convenient workbench.

Remove the protective cap from the bulb holder, disconnect the bulb holder and extract the old bulb, insert a new one and reconnect the bulb holder, replacing the cap (use pliers to extract the position bulb). Proceed in reverse for reassembly.
