the whole headlamp.

see Key positions - functions at different levels

nector.
Detach the headlamp connector by pressing
down the clip with your thumb.
At the same time, guide out the connector
with your other hand.
5. Lift out the headlamp and place it on a soft
surface to avoid scratching the lens.
6. Replace the bulb in question.

in the ignition switch.
