How to replace the headlight bulb on a Mini Cooper

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

Before we start, we will have to open the front hood of our Mini Cooper. We then start by unhooking the clip that secures the back cover of the burned out light bulb. After that, we'll have to go and remove the lid itself. By doing so, we will have reached the burned out light bulb. We then proceed by turning the base of the burned out bulb anti-clockwise, and then extract it from the headlight. At this point, we will have to disconnect the electrical connector, and we will have completed the disassembly. To fit the new bulb, all we have to do is repeat this procedure in reverse, and we will have completed the replacement.
