How to replace the headlight bulbs in Mini Cooper?

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

As we can see in this tutorial, changing the headlight bulbs on your Mini Cooper is an extremely simple and fast operation. Before proceeding, let's make sure that the key is not inserted in order to operate in complete safety. Let's start by opening the bonnet, after which we release the clip located on the internal upper side of the headlight in question. We then remove the large plastic cap, release the metal clip and rotate the bulb anticlockwise, thus extracting it from the housing. At this point we can disconnect the connector, connect it to the spare and assemble the latter by following the reverse procedure.
