Front Light Removal & Replacement.

[Jamesb4uk]

Hey people

i'm ordering a replacement outside passenger headlight today,

However it looks like the bumper has to be removed to fit the lights - i can see 1 mount on the top & 1 below undernieth holding the light.

is that right?

Yes, you need to remove the bumper and then all the bolts will become clear. Removing the bumper is another issue and not the easiest either. plenty of screws all the way around and some tricky ones inside the wing. Good luck.

Yep, complete ball ache

3 bolts either side inside the wing as said above, need to push the wheel arch liner aside and use a socket wrench with really long extender on.

Then about 8 bolts holding plastic on across the bottom.

Some tricky plastic clips above the grill

4 bolts across the top

that's about it i think.

Did mine at the weekend to fit these bad boys :D

was really hoping not to do that.

looks like my weekend taken up now

BTW nice lights - i went for an original replacement.

The bolts in the arch are a real pain in the back side it get back in, so much easyer with 2 peeps so that can hold the plastic in place wile u try to get the bolts back in the holes without cross threading.

BTW Manphibian i been looking for lights like that all over the place, but i dont want a cheap peace of crap like some places sell, yours look good where did u get yours from?

I also wana get the haylow stile fog lights thay look meen. ;)
