To perform this simple operation, you will need to release the bonnet from the appropriate lever to lift it and secure it with the prop rod. Then, locate the parts securing the headlamp to be replaced, which are obviously around the headlamp. To access all of them, you will need to remove the upper part of the bumper.

Using a socket spanner, you can remove the screws securing the headlamp at three points; the third point is hidden behind the grille at the corner of the bumper. Now you can extract the headlamp and disconnect it from the connector at the back.

Then, retrace the steps described for reassembling the various components.
