Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Tail light
Operation: Replace and update the Mini Cooper rear light block.

Before starting any mechanical maintenance operation on cars, it is necessary to place the car itself on a plane or on the bridge to be able to work on it safely. So, after taking this precaution, in order to replace and update the rear light unit of the Mini Cooper, we must first remove, using a plastic lever, the chrome frame of the headlight unit. Below, along the perimeter, we find three screws that we unscrew, using the suitable screwdriver. This way, we have access to the bulbs, in case we want to replace any of them. In this case, however, we disconnect the power supply and replace the entire headlight block with a new LED one. Let's reassemble everything and that's it!
