Steps:

1. To open the hood, pull the release lever by your foot break inside the car.

2. To raise the hood, lift up on handle at the front of the hood.

3. Pull on the edges until the cover pops off revealing the nut shown in the next step.

4. Using the 11mm wrench, remove the nut.

5. Gently pull out the side paneling using your hands.

6. Take out the turn signal light by twisting it. Remove the side panel.

7. Remove the bulb from the connector by pulling the two apart.
8. Connect the new bulb to the connector.

9. In the same area where you removed the screw, remove the clip by hand or use needle nose pliers.

10. Identify the three retainers. Two of them are on the same side from which the metal clip was removed. The third is on the opposite side, shown in the next step.
11. Slide the 12mm wrench over the retainer and push until you are able to remove the headlight.

12. This is the third retainer.
13. To push the retainers in so that I was able to remove the headlight, I pressed the handle of the wrench against the metal part of the retainers and pushed.

14. Similar to removing the turn signal, twist the headlight connector and remove the headlight from the bulb.
15. Disconnect the bulb from the connector by pulling the two apart and connect the new bulb. Attach the new bulb to the connector.
