Instructions for Removing the Front Headlight

Model: Mazda Cx 7 MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Headlight

To remove the front headlight, you must first remove the bumper as the headlight is positioned underneath it; open the front bonnet and start by removing the clips that secure the upper edge of the bumper to the slam panel; then move to the wheel arches and the screws along the lower edge of the bumper; once the bumper is removed, proceed to remove the headlight by unscrewing the relevant fixing pins (one located at the inner corner and the other on the outer side) and removing the clip applied to the inner edge of the wing; free the headlight and pull it forward enough to disconnect the connectors and complete the removal.
