How to replace the front headlight bulbs of the Mini Cooper.

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

Today we will explain how to independently replace the front headlight bulbs of the Mini Cooper model 3. To replace the bulbs, we need to open the front hood and remove the cover of the ceiling light to disconnect the connector and remove the worn-out bulb. We insert the new bulb and reconnect the connector to close the ceiling light cover. For the replacement of the side indicator bulb, we follow the same procedure as for the daytime running light bulbs. To remove the fog light bulbs, we need to remove the plastic cover of the headlight using a trim removal tool that won't damage the bodywork. We disconnect the connector and remove the bulb. We insert the new one and reconnect the connector to reassemble the headlight and the cover.
