How to remove the headlight frame on the Mini Cooper S.

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007

In today's video tutorial we will see how to remove the headlight frame on the first generation Mini Cooper S, following the instructions below. First of all we open the bonnet of our car and start by disconnecting the electrical connector of the headlight bulbs; then we go to unscrew the fixing screws of the light, using a torx screwdriver, as shown in the video. Once the lighthouse has been removed, we can release the mechanism that blocks the frame, so that it can be separated from the lighthouse; we just have to reassemble everything, applying the reverse procedure!
