Replacing Front Headlamp Bulb

Model: Toyota Prius MK 1 - Years 2004-2009
Part: Headlight bulb

To replace the Xenon bulb in the left headlamp, it is not necessary to remove it, but to facilitate access for removing the cap, it is advisable to also remove the cover of the fuse box. Once the protective cover of the bulb holder is removed, disconnect the connector attached to the back of the bulb and release the retaining springs of the bulb itself to extract it from its housing. Then, apply the new bulb, ensuring not to touch the glass bulb, orient it correctly in its housing, reattach the retaining springs, then reconnect the power connector and finally refit the cap and the cover of the fuse box. For the right headlamp, however, it is necessary to remove it and proceed in the same way.
