Removing the Mini headlight bulbs

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

Are the bulbs in the Mini burned out? Let's see the disassembly of the bulbs placed in the headlights. We remove the wheel (right or left) and we come to intervene in the stone guard. We remove the cover of the lighthouse placed in the rear part (placed to the side of the lighthouse). We take out the lamp holder from the rear light and we go to extract all the damaged bulbs. We mount the new bulbs in the lamp holder and then mount it in the headlight. After assembling the bulb holder we can close the compartment with the cover. We test the correct functioning of the lights: we open the door and enter the vehicle, we turn on the instrument panel and the ignition lever. We assemble the wheel after maintenance.
