Assuming you do not have an FSport as the base models may have HIDs, but the F-Sports all came with LEDs standard.

Anyways, I haven't done it as we have the FSport but as typically with most cars, you can try going through the engine bay, usually by directly accessing the bulb or removing the front tray cover areas and then accessing. If that doesn't work, the next solution is to remove a wheel (or turn it to the side which is what I usually do), remove the fender guards/splash shields, and then peel it back and access the bulbs through the fenderwell.

If that doesn't work, remove your front bumper (and at times your fender) and then you for sure can access the bulb, not to mention the whole headlight assembly.

Hope this helps.

You do not need to remove the bumper...
i have the Fsport Canadian model with HID.
Just reach behind the headlight for the passenger side (remove air box first), there's a ballast for the HID bulbs that you have to remove (by twisting counter clockwise), and on the driver side you have to remove the washer fluid reservoir before getting to the back of the housing.

I'm not saying you need to remove the bumper, I'm saying in each step IF the prior does not work, the next step would suffice.

It’s a 20 minute job. Airbox remove is no problem and the washer fluid thing only need to pull.
