To access the headlamp holder, you need to remove some body parts and the headlamp itself. First, unscrew the fixing pins of the front wings located near the external mirrors; then, open the doors, remove the pins along the pillars and the radio antenna.

Detach and remove the front air grille (be careful not to break the plastic tabs) and unscrew the other fixing screws of the front fairing (these are located near the chassis) which can now be removed by disconnecting the side indicator connectors as well.

Next, unscrew the fixing pins of the headlamps and pull them out of their housing to replace the bulbs (release the fixing clip to extract the old bulb): due to the complexity of the operation, it is recommended to replace all bulbs in both headlamps, not just the damaged one. Check the operation and proceed with reassembly.

How to Remove the Toll Tag Holder from the Windscreen Without Damaging the Glass

Removing stickers or tags from your car's glass without damaging the windscreen has always been a problem.

We found this product that seems suitable, specifically designed for this purpose, and it also thoroughly removes dirt, grease, oil, and antifreeze salt from plastic surfaces. You can find it on the ATG website or on Amazon.
