If you want to repair a blown bulb on your vehicle, you can find instructions on how to proceed in the video tutorial and in this description. The first thing to do is open the bonnet and locate the headlight unit where the blown bulb is present.

Then remove the plastic cover behind the headlight and disconnect the power connector, then extract the bulb holder including the bulb. Proceed to disconnect the bulb itself and position the new bulb in the holder, taking care not to touch it with your fingers.

Then reinsert the bulb holder, reconnect the connector, and reposition the plastic cover.
