Under the bonnet, most headlamp bulbs are accessed via rear dust caps—remove the cap, release the holder, swap the bulb, and avoid touching the glass with bare fingers. In the boot, tail light bulbs are typically behind trim panels with simple quarter-turn holders. If the car is fitted with HID low beams, note there’s high voltage involved
