Replacing Dipped Beam on Mini Cooper

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

Lift the bonnet and insert the support rod. First, open and remove the rear cover, then locate the dipped beam bulb in the engine bay. At this point, you can disconnect the connector by rotating it (counterclockwise) and pulling it out along with the LED bulb. Also, remove the bulb from its connector by pressing on the tab. Done! As you can see, this is a very simple operation. Now, insert the new LED bulb into the connector and mount everything back in place. Refit the rear cover and you're done.
