Replacing Rear Headlamp Bulbs

Model: Mini Mini R57, R55, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Light bulb

Are your bulbs burnt out? I will explain how to remove and replace the bulbs of your car's rear headlamp. It requires some skill! Gather a trim removal kit for automotive plastics and Torx keys. Use a trim tool to remove the chrome bezel of the headlamp to access the screws. Then, open the bonnet; on the right side, you will find a small cover that you need to open to detach the clips of the bulb holder. Now, using the Torx keys, remove all screws, then gently pull the headlamp towards you to remove it. Next, remove the bulb holder and replace all necessary bulbs, then reassemble everything in reverse order and your work is complete.

How to Remove the Grille on a Ford Ranger

In this video, learn how to remove the grille located on the front bumper of a Ford Ranger. Prepare to take off the plastic grille: use a socket spanner to unscrew the fasteners securing the grille (located on the inside of the bumper). With a plastic lever, pry between the grille and the bumper until it disengages from its housing. Once the grille is free, remove it from the bumper and fit a new one. Refit the grille onto the car's bumper by pressing it into place and screw the fasteners back in. Check that all parts are correctly mounted.
