To replace the motor that adjusts the height of the headlights according to the vehicle's load conditions, you need to remove the headlight itself. Open the front bonnet and unscrew the four fixing screws of the headlight (it is recommended to use a screwdriver with a flexible extension), two on the upper part of the grille and another two at the lower corners.

Once the headlight is detached from its housing, disconnect the connector, remove the cover of the bulb holder, and unscrew the fixing screws of the leveling motor to replace it with the new one.
