To replace the front headlight bulbs, it is necessary to remove the headlight itself: this operation is very simple; just unscrew a plastic ring located behind the headlight and unlock the safety latch found on the front right of the headlight (when viewed from the front), near the grille: press the plastic tab upwards and pull out the securing clip.

At this point, it is possible to extract the headlight from its housing and proceed with the bulb replacement.

Remove the rubber cap, release the bulb retaining spring, and replace it with the new one (H1 and H7).
