You can see a rubber gasket at the back of the headlamp when you examine the headlight assembly. A wire holds the back of the bulb in place when you remove this gasket, which is a humidity seal. It will be possible to release the bulb by pinching this wire. Without touching the bulb with your fingers, replace it with a fresh one. The oil on your skin may shorten the bulb’s life. The wire and rubber gasket should then be replaced.
