Hi,

To remove the Headlight use a 5mm Nutdriver or Socket w/ extension and turn it clockwise. You'll feel the Headlight move forward. It is now unlocked. Go to the Front of the Car and pull the Headlight straight out (you may need to twist it slightly.

Now, you need to remove the Cover on the Back. If a Low/High Beam, you press the clip on the large cover and remove. You'll see the back of both Headlamps. Disconect the Electrical Connector to the Bulb and then unclip the Retaining Spring holding the Bulb. Pull Bulb out.

For a Fog Lamp, you twist open the small Cover. Then you remove it's Electrical Connector and Spring Clip. All the Bulbs are 55W H7s for Halogens, incl. Fog Lamp (Phillips D 2 S for Low Beam Xenon).

Assembly is the reverse, but a couple of caveats - Don't handle the new Bulb with your bare hand, use a paper towel or such. Push the Headlamp Assembly back into the Fender carefully to avoid bending any of the Pins on the Connector. When you tighten the Hex Screw by turning anticlockwise, you'll hear a Heart Stopping 'POP' as it locks into place, you'll think something broke, but it didn't. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
