Tried the search function and after 2 days of reading I didn't find anything for my car.
Any ideas on how to remove them?
Need to change them for LED ones.

Cheers
 
I have an older model, 2016, and when I changed the H/L bulbs for an improved type I found the handbook was incorrect. The bulbs just pull out, not twist. They need a firm pull and when putting back in make sure the tabs on the bulb are in line with those on the reflector.
 
Thanks for the quick reply...

Since I have the standard headlights, I suppose there is no difference between older and newer models...

I have tried pulling and twisting, non of them seem to work. I'm afraid to pull any harder , it looks like the headlight will tear apart...
 
Macaronas did you manage to change them? Can you tell us which led bulbs you are using now and provide us with a photo? I'm also thinking to change the standard bulbs to something more white...
 
Good morning from Greece!!!

Yeah, I did and it was stupidly easy...

Just move upwards the bulb including the plug and they pop out..

I used Phillips Xtreme Ultinon Gen 2.
It's the same LED chip manufacturers use.
5800k. Exactly the same as my DLRs.
Headlights are now a +250 light on the road.
beam pattern is PERFECT, same as factory.

Only downside is Headlights and Fog cost me 300 euros.
But it's a factory like result
Totally worth it!
 
Can you also share a photo with the new lights when you find some time?
Guess they won't affect the plastic lens?
 
In theory every aftermarket bulb is affecting the lens but I have never had this issue even with xenons.
I would upload photos if I knew how :p
