Instructions for Replacing Front Headlights

Model: Hyundai Accent MK 1, LC - Years 1999-2005
Part: Headlight

If the headlights have become particularly yellowed and cloudy, polishing may not be sufficient to restore them, so the best solution is to replace them. Removing the headlights is very simple as they are secured with only two bolts, and it is not necessary to remove the front trim to extract them. Just remove the pressure clip that secures the trim to the grille, near the headlight housing, to move it enough for headlight extraction. Once the trim clips are removed, unscrew the headlight mounting bolts and pull the headlight away from its housing just enough to disconnect the connectors and remove it completely. Reverse the procedure to install the new headlights, bringing them close to the housing, connecting the connectors, and securing them with the respective bolts before reapplying the pressure clips to the trim.

How to Remove the Front Bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso?

To remove the front bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso, you need to take out all the rivets and screws that secure the piece to its housing: these screws are located inside the wheel arches of the front wheels and at the central upper part of the bumper itself. Once all these fastening elements have been removed, you can detach the bumper from its seat by disconnecting the connectors inside and then insert the new replacement part. The new part can then be secured and connected properly, ensuring it is correctly fixed in place.
