To easily access the rear of the headlight, first remove the plastic cover of the battery, the windscreen washer reservoir (simply pull it upwards), and the cover of the fuse box. At this point, remove the rubber cap located behind the headlight and disengage the bulb holder by turning it to the left.

Replace the bulb and reattach it by turning it to the right; ensure the new bulb works, then reverse the steps to reassemble the previously removed items (rubber cap, windscreen washer reservoir, battery cover, and fuse box cover).
