Photo 1: after switching on the headlights in position 2, we observe that the dipped beam headlight on the driver's side no longer works.
-
Photo 2: we open the hood, and we see the rubber sealing cover at the rear of the headlight lens (orange arrow).
-
Photo 3: In order to improve access to this area (yellow circle), the battery will need to be removed.
-
-
-
Before working on the battery, check that you have the car radio unlock code.
-
Photo 1: we start by removing the red cover from the + terminal, pulling on it gently (red rectangle).
-
Photo 2: remove the battery terminals by unscrewing the 2 nuts (orange arrows) using a 10 mm flat spanner. The battery can then be removed from its housing.
-
Photo 3: The battery housing, with the battery removed.
WARNING! Do NOT start by removing the red cover on the (+) battery! You must first disconnect the (-) side (ground), because if you uncover the red cover and insert a wrench to unscrew the (+) nuts while the ground is still connected, you risk touching a metal part and creating a short circuit between the (+) and the ground. If the (+) is protected by an insulating cover, it is precisely so that you do not start touching it before the (-) (ground) is disconnected.

Photo 1: Once the battery is removed, the sealing cap can be removed by gently pulling on it (red arrow).
-
Photo 2: the rubber cover, to be kept.
-
Photo 3: we access the power supply base of the bulb, which we unscrew (yellow arrows) to remove it from its housing.
-
-
-
Photo 1: the power supply base has been removed from its housing, the bulb is clipped onto it.
-
Photo 2: comparing the two bulbs. On the left is the old one with a broken filament, and on the right is the new one with an intact filament (orange arrows).
-
-
-
Photo 1: clip the new bulb into the base, respecting the position of the base lug in the notch of the lamp (red circle). The two fins (red arrows) will fix the base in the optic by rotating it a quarter turn clockwise.
-
Photo 2: Once the base is fixed in the optic, the rubber sealing cap (orange circle) is replaced.
-
-
-
Photo 1: replace the battery and tighten the terminals on the + and - terminals using the 10 mm flat wrench.
-
Photo 2: Turn on the ignition and switch the headlights to position 2 (dipped beam). Everything works again.

The bulb replacement is complete. All that remains is to unlock the car radio with the code you have. Have a good trip!
If we remove the battery, will we have to reset many electrical systems?
you need to know the car radio code to unlock it. you will also need to reset the electric windows. Good luck
Thank you very much, I hope
succeed as easily as you
not very practical on the left side
Thank you for all your advice

And how do you do the right side? It's a pain, thanks Renault engineers.
Hello, by removing the windshield washer fluid addition hose. Kind regards.
Good evening,
Removing the bulb by hand as shown…. It’s impossible!!!
Above all, do not take into account the comments saying that you can pass your hand without removing the battery, or go through the wheel arch. These are big mistakes that can take a lot of time and cause irritation. Once it is removed, you have easy access, knowing that the safest thing is to reclip the socket into the headlight. It took me 15 minutes, including resetting the time and entering the car radio code.
Thanks for all this help from the oscaro team.

Hello, also by turning completely to the right (for the headlight in question), then removing the mudguard, and then you can reach the back of the bulb.
If you have a little more time and tools, you can remove the wheel to work more easily.
Good morning,
In response to Nicolas BEAUX,
This is the best solution.
The bulb is reaching out to you when the mud flap is unclipped.

Remplacement possible sans dépose de la batterie
Good morning,
Replacement possible without removing the battery. The hand slips without too much difficulty into the space leading to the lamp housing, the wrist is in the narrowest part, but the fingers are agile for all manipulations.
Yours sincerely.

Yes...so I want to see that!! A child's hand maybe!!
