Lavida low beam headlight removal method is: 1. Open the front hood; 2. Remove the fixing screws of the low beam headlight guard plate; 3. Remove the fixing screws between the low beam headlight and the radiator frame; 4. Remove the fixing screws between the low beam headlight and the front bumper guide channel, then grasp the edge of the low beam headlight with your hand to pull it out. Taking the 2019 Lavida as an example, it is equipped with a 1.2T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 116ps, maximum torque of 200Nm, and maximum power of 85kW. The 2021 Lavida has body dimensions of: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, and a wheelbase of 2688mm.
As a car owner who frequently does DIY repairs, I've replaced the low beam lights on my Lavida several times. When removing them, first open the engine hood and let the car cool for a few minutes to ensure safety. Locate the correct position of the low beam lights—the headlight assembly is inside the engine compartment, usually at the front side of the vehicle. Gently unplug the power connector to avoid short-circuit issues. Then release the fixing clips or screws; this Lavida model mostly uses plastic clips, which can be easily pressed to unlock and remove the bulb holder. Carefully take out the old bulb, making sure not to touch the glass part with your hands, as oil residue can cause the bulb to overheat and fail prematurely. Insert the new bulb firmly into the holder, secure it in place, and finally reconnect the power to test the light. Throughout the process, I wear cotton gloves to prevent static electricity. A common mistake is the aging and breakage of the fixing clips, so it's advisable to prepare spare parts in advance. The entire process takes just over ten minutes—simple and easy—and saves on repair shop costs. Regularly checking the bulb condition helps prevent nighttime driving risks.
As a novice driver attempting to DIY the removal of the Lavida's low beam headlights, the first step is to park the car, turn off the engine, and let it cool down to prevent burns. Opening the hood to locate the headlight assembly is not difficult—the Lavida's lights are near the grille. Disconnect the rear wiring plug safely and insulate it, then loosen the fixing screws; most can be unscrewed with a Phillips screwdriver to remove the lamp holder and take out the old bulb. When installing the bulb, avoid touching the glass part as it can easily get oily, shortening the bulb's lifespan. Align the new bulb with the slot and install it back in place, reconnect the plug, cover the panel, and test the lights. If the light doesn't turn on, check if the fuse is blown. Remember to operate with the power off throughout the process. Common mistakes for beginners include forgetting to unplug the connector or installing the bulb backward. It's best to follow the vehicle manual's diagrams step by step—simple, hassle-free, and saves unnecessary expenses.
