Open the hood and completely remove the headlight assembly. At the back, remove the lamp cover located behind the headlight until it is completely detached.

To access the bulb, remove the retaining springs from the socket and carefully take it out, setting it aside. Once the socket is removed, extract the old bulb.

Insert the new xenon bulb, being very careful not to touch the glass bulb with your hands. Reposition the socket in its housing and secure it with the spring.

Reattach the cover. Repeat the same operation with the other headlight.

Check the operation by turning on the headlights.
