How to remove the headlight of a Mini Cooper

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

Before we can begin, we will have to go to open the front hood of our Mini Cooper, thus reaching the inside of the headlight. So let's start by unscrewing and removing the screws that secure the main electrical connector of the light bulbs, and then disconnecting it. After that, we will have to go and unscrew the bolts that secure the headlight to the hood. Once we have removed the headlight bolts, we will have freed it. At this point, all we have to do is remove it from its housing, and we can remove it permanently. When we have removed the lighthouse, we will have successfully completed the dismantling.
