Video tutorial

Removing a front headlight, provided you have some basic tools and decent manual skills, is a job within everyone's reach; you do not necessarily need to consult a body shop. The procedure involves what is shown in the video, namely removing the front wheel arch liner, unscrewing the pins from the upper section, grille area, of the bumper and the lower ones.

Detach the bumper, remove the fixing pins of the headlight, disconnect the rear connector of the electrical supply cables, and pull to extract it from its housing. Follow the reverse procedure for fitting the new headlight.
