Removing Headlight Bulbs on a Mini

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

Are the bulbs in your Mini blown? Let's see how to remove the bulbs from the front headlights. Remove the wheel (either right or left) to access the wheel arch liner. Remove the cover of the headlight located at the back (next to the headlight). Pull the bulb holder out of the headlight and extract all the damaged bulbs. Install the new bulbs into the bulb holder and then fit it back into the headlight. After fitting the bulb holder, you can close the compartment with the cover. Test the lights to ensure they are functioning correctly: open the door and enter the vehicle, turn on the instrument panel and the ignition switch. Refit the wheel after maintenance.
