Tools required:
Cross-head screwdriver.
The headlight bulbs the H4 type, they are dual filament bulbs for both dipped and high beam. They look like this…
First, switch your headlights on, then twist the stalk back to the 2nd position so the headlights are switched off but remain in the pop up position.
Now you need to remove the black shroud, 2 screws here…
Followed by another 2 screws on the opposite side…
Now carefully remove the shroud out of the way…
Now you have access to the metal trim that is holding the headlight unit in place, remove the 2 screws at the top and the 2 at the bottom…
With the metal trim removed, carefully ease the headlight unit forwards so you can unplug it from the back…
This is the headlight removed from the car…
Now carefully remove the rubber (it just pops off) and you can unclip the old bulb for the new one to go in…
Re-fitting is the reverse of the above instructions.
