To remove the headlights, open the bonnet to access the four screws located above the grille, which must be removed. Move under the bumper and unscrew the 8 screws present there, followed by the 5 screws in the wing.

Next, tackle the 2 screws in the bumper, and if necessary, drain the water from the headlight wash system. Now disconnect any connectors for the parking sensors and other systems that may be present.

Remove the bumper and disconnect the battery. Move directly to the headlight and unscrew the 4 fixing screws holding it in place, disconnect the electrical connector, and finally, you can remove the headlight.

To reinstall it, simply follow the steps in reverse order.
