How to Replace the Headlight Bulbs on a Mini

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Headlight bulb

Are the headlight bulbs on your Mini damaged? Not working anymore? Here’s how to change them. Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it with the prop. Locate the inspection cap of the headlamp and detach it from the rear. At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holder out of the headlamp and extract the damaged bulbs with the help of a screwdriver. Install the new bulbs (always of the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlamp housing. Start the vehicle with the key and test the lights.
