Replacing the front headlight bulb is quite simple as there is enough space to manoeuvre, and it is not necessary to dismantle the headlight. Start by disconnecting the power plug of the bulb, removing the rubber protective cap, unhooking the bulb retaining spring, and extracting it from its housing.

Then, insert the new bulb, aligning it correctly in its housing, secure it by hooking the springs, reposition the cap, and then reconnect the power plug. Finally, turn on the headlights and check that they are functioning correctly: if you notice a difference in brightness compared to the other headlight, replace that one as well.
