The left (driver side) headlight is easier. Instructions are in the manual. Make sure you wear latex gloves when handling the old and new headlight bulbs. - Remove rubber casing .. just pull it out.
- Remove electrical connector .. pull it out carefully otherwise the plastic might crack
- Remove metal spring that holds the bulb .. you basically squeeze the 2 arms that are towards the left sideview mirror and pull it away from the bulb
- Remove old bulb


- Now take the new bulb and place it so that it matches the cutout provided
- The 2 connectors of the bulb must be up and down. Not side by side.
- Now place the metal spring on the bulb and squeeze and release and make sure it secures the bulb
- Connect the electrical connector
- Place the rubber casing back on


You are done!


The right side is a little more complicated. Open the hood and as you face the engine, remove You the 2 small screws that are to the right of the bulb. This secures a plastic casing. Then pull out the casing to access the bulb. Once that is done, you repeat the above. Read the owners manual.

Begin by removing the dashboard instrument panel cover. Take hold of the dashboard lightbulb, push in and turn at the same time. The dashboard lightbulb will come out. Reverse the process to install your new dashboard lightbulb.
