Front light replacement

So the right low bean went out the other day on the projector I think? Would this be an easy DIY?

Thanks

Very Easy just go in the back of the light casing and unscrew the big round thing and your light is in there.

Be glad it wasn't the marker lamp. The front bumper would be coming off. And the park lamp likes to take some skin as a "souvenir"
By the way, if you have HID's it runs 20000 Volts or something as ridiculous.
