Open the bonnet: Open the bonnet and locate the headlight assembly.
Remove the trim: Use your fingers to gently lift the plastic trim around the headlight.
Undo the screws: Use a Phillips screwdriver to undo one screw, a Torx screwdriver to undo the second screw, and then a screw at the back.
Pull the light off: Carefully pull the light up and off the mounting point clip.
Disconnect the electrical connector: Squeeze the clips and pull out the electrical connector at the back of the light.
Remove the bulb: Pull off the bulb cover and turn the bulb anti-clockwise to remove it.
