To replace a front headlamp on this vehicle in DIY mode, follow the instructions in this description and check the tutorial video. First, open the bonnet and locate the headlamp to be replaced.

There are screws above it that you need to remove, and it is also necessary to detach the screws securing the front grille. Next, remove the clips securing the wheel arch to gently release and extract the bumper, which will give you access to all the screws securing the headlamp assembly, allowing you to proceed with the disassembly.

Once the headlamp is extracted, disconnect the electrical connectors located at the back.
