I could do it even shorter: remove the broken one and put a new one in. Except that to access it... that's where I would have liked your help... and to see the other tutorials, well it's not that simple. Disappointed by oscaro on this post.

ok for the passenger side bulb, but for the driver side? the headlight has to be removed, and that must be emphasized

I managed without removing the headlight… But it took me an hour, and the back of my hand is bleeding :/ Really not practical
