Before starting, open the front bonnet of your Mini Cooper. Begin by unclipping the clip that secures the rear cover of the blown bulb.

Next, remove the cover itself. This will give you access to the blown bulb.

Proceed to rotate the base of the blown bulb anti-clockwise, then extract it from the front headlight. At this point, disconnect the electrical connector, and you will have completed the disassembly.

To install the new bulb, simply reverse this procedure, and you will have completed the replacement.
