How to remove the headlight of a Mini Cooper

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

After that, we will have to go to disengage and extract the headlight from its housing. By doing so, we will have freed the headlight itself. We then proceed by disconnecting the electrical plug that powers the headlight bulbs. When we have completed this last step, we will have successfully completed the disassembly of the headlight of our Mini Cooper.
