Before you can fit the new bulb, you will need to disconnect the old one. Now, this part can differ depending on which make and model car you have. Usually, there will be three power wires to the bulb and they will be held in place by a lock such as a plastic latch, metal clip or screwed in. Release the head bulb light accordingly and take your time. We suggest using a tissue to cover the bulb or wearing gloves so you don’t directly touch the bulb.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once you’ve removed the old bulb, all that’s left to do is fit the new one! Simply put the new bulb into the holder carefully and remember to not touch the bulb with your fingers (fingerprints or marks can affect the lifespan of your bulb). Then, put the cover back on and make sure it’s securely in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once the bulb is fitted, close the bonnet and get into the vehicle. Start the engine and turn on your headlights. Then get out of the car and check the headlights are working correctly. If not, you may need to refit or get a trained mechanic to do it for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n
