Replacing the Front Headlamp Bulb with Removal

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

You will need a socket spanner for this operation. Open the bonnet and unscrew the retaining screws of the headlamp with the spanner. Carefully remove the headlamp, taking care with the cables, and remove the retaining springs of the plastic cover to access the bulbs. Once the cover is off, remove the bulb holder of the faulty bulb by releasing the retaining springs and take it out. Gently insert the new bulb, being careful not to touch the glass bulb with your hands; if you do, clean the glass with a cloth soaked in alcohol. Securely close the protective cover and refit the headlamp.
