Hello,

The headlight bulb replacement on this vehicle is straight forward.
After opening the hood, you will have access to the back of the headlight housing.
Locate the back of the bulb you want to replace. Remove the wire connector by pulling up on the tab. Then twist of the light bulb (counterclockwise).
Simply reverse the process for installation.

Keep in mind that you do not want to touch the glass part of the headlight bulb. As the grease/oil form skin will create hot spot on the glass and reduce the life span of the bulb.
