With the car off, handbrake engaged, and key removed, open the front bonnet. Observe the area behind the affected headlamp: you will notice a small circular rubber cover.

Remove it by pulling it off with your hands. Disconnect the now exposed connector by simply pulling it. Then, lift the metal clip, similar to a large paperclip, to release the bulb.

Extract the bulb and replace it with the new one you have purchased, which will simply fit into place. Then, replace the metal clip, reconnect the connector, and reattach the rubber cover.

Ensure everything is functioning properly.
