How do i replace my Headlight bulbs on a 1990 Renault 5 Monaco


How do i replace my Headlight bulbs on a 1990 Renault 5 Monaco?
I have the bulbs but dont really know where to start when replacing them. At the minute they only work on "dimmed" and "Full Beam" (very bright) so want to get this sorted sooner rather than later Thanks in advance to all that answer Yeah beginning to think its the relay rather than the bulbs, i will take to a garage and get it checked over. Thank you

Is what you mean that the headlight sometimes only work for low beam and sometimes high beam only? If yes, the bulb is not the issue. Please check the headlight wire connection, a loosen is the cause. If the wire is fine, the headlight relay is the cause, the relay can't switch the power to the low beam or high beam, a relay replacement is needed. To replace the bulb, turn the bulb cover on the backside of the headlight to 1/4 turn anticlockwise, turn the "wing" cover and you can feel it has released, then pull out the bulb. Never, never, and never touch the bulb glass, a dirt or oil on the surface glass can make extra heat on the bulb and make bulb broken. Use something to cover your touch. Do the release step in backward to install the bulb, watch to notch to insert the bulb.
