Replacing the Front Headlamp Bulb

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

Open the bonnet and locate the rear of the headlamp. Carefully remove the rear cover, 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, ensuring it is correctly oriented and avoiding contact with 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.
