Replacing front bulbs on Mini R50

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

Replacing the front bulbs (in this tutorial we will take the low beam as an example) on Mini R50, R52 and R53 is really simple and now we will show you. First, lift the hood and put on the special support rod. Unhook the metal catch holding the rear light cover in place and remove the cover. Rotate slightly and extract the rear attachment of the bulb, disconnect the connector and extract the bulb itself (again, turn slightly). Obviously proceed backwards until complete reassembly. As you can see, this is not a complex operation.
