  1. Prepare your vehicle: Turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition. Open the hood to access the headlights.
  2. Remove the old headlight bulb: Locate the back of the headlight housing. Use the screwdriver if needed to remove the dust cover. Carefully disconnect the wiring harness and twist the old bulb out.
  3. Install the LED bulb: Wearing gloves, insert the new LED bulb into the socket. Twist to secure it in place. Avoid touching the LED surface directly.
  4. Reconnect and test: Reattach the wiring harness and dust cover. Turn on your headlights to verify the LED bulbs are working properly.
