Video tutorial

In this tutorial, you will see the headlamp removed from the car so you can better understand its construction. As you will notice, behind each bulb is a removable rubber cover.

This means you just need to remove it to access the light connector. Disconnect the connector by simply pulling it out, then move the metal clip that holds the bulb in place, and it will come out with minimal effort.

Insert the new bulb, refit the clip, and reconnect the connector. Finally, fit the lower rubber cover back in place.
