Attention! High-pressure H7 filament bulbs may burst during replacement, so these bulbs must be replaced with gloves and goggles.
Attention! Do not touch the glass bulb of the lamp with bare hands. Fat traces on the lamp lead to the darkening of the bulb and the rapid failure of the lamp. Be sure to replace defective lamps with lamps of the same type. Wipe off any grease stains with a clean, lint-free cloth or alcohol.
Replace the headlight as follows.
Remove the bulb from the headlight.
To access the lower headlight mounting bolts on models before 2001, remove the decorative cover located under the headlight, and on models from 2001, the radiator grille and the front headlight trim panel.
