To protect any delicate circuits, disconnect the battery terminals. Then, release the bonnet from the lever and remove it to work without issues.

After identifying the rear of the headlamp, you can remove the bulb by simply releasing it. To do this, rotate the bulb and pull it outwards. Now, disconnect it from the socket at the back and install the new bulb.

Finally, retrace the steps in reverse to reassemble the various components removed.
