Headlight Removal

[bobbyK]

I want to remove my headlights.

I've just been out to have a look and I can see the two bolts at the top of the lights that hold them in place.

Towards the bottom of the lights there's two bolts that look like they hold the bumper on.

I'm assuming the bumper needs to be removed to get access to the other bolts that hold the lights on, can anyone give me some instructions or point me in the way of a guide?

Thanks.

The bumper doesnt need removal but it makes it easier.

There are three 10mm bolts holding the headlight in place, 2 on top which are visable, one on the side, hidden by the front bumper.

1) The way i remove it (without taking off the bumper)..... one 10mm bolt on the top, one 10mm bolt on the bottom.

2) go into the wheel arch, you will see one screw going upwards holding the bumper to the wing.. remove this (10mm socket or phillips)

3) carefully pull the bumper away from the wing.. there is a plastic clip in there, stick your hand in to unclip it (cost £8 to replace so dont break it!)

4) Pulling the bumper way from the car body remove the furthers 10mm bolt which holds the light to the car

5) disconnect all the light connects and carefully remove light!!

Easier option to remove the bumper is to remove all the bolts from the top holding the bumper in place (4 i think and one plastic screw)

Remove the screws going up holding the bumper to the wing.

Remove the screws/bolts from under the car: 3 on each sides i think and 4 in the center

Unclips and pull the bumper away from the car.
