Open the front bonnet and ensure it is securely supported. The side indicator is secured with a screw located at the edge between the indicator and the headlamp, right at the tip of the wing: unscrew the fastening screw and remove the indicator.

Disconnect the bulb holder, remove the old bulb and replace it with a new one (bayonet fitting); reposition the bulb holder on the indicator and reattach it using the corresponding screw. Finally, check the operation of the newly installed bulb by activating the indicator.
