After changing the bulb check to make sure that the bulb is working properly. If the bulb is not working properly, the bulb may not have been inserted properly or may have failed again, or the connector may have been inserted incorrectly.

Any time you change a bulb in the front of the vehicle, the headlight settings should be checked by a qualified workshop.
