2. Remove the cover cap from the headlamp housing
3. Unlock the locking clip
4. Remove the wiring harness connector

Hella recommends that bulbs are always replaced in pairs, as this creates an upselling opportunity for technicians. This also ensures that the bulbs are of the same brightness, and are more likely to last the same length of time.
