How to replace the headlight bulbs in Mini Cooper?

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

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the headlight bulbs on the Mini Cooper R56, a very simple and fast operation. First of all, open the bonnet and disconnect the negative battery terminal, then, using a 10mm socket wrench, unscrew the 4 fixing bolts of the headlight in question. We then separate the latter from the frame, disconnect both the power connector and the headlight washer tube and open the large rear cap. At this point we can remove the old bulb by unlocking the metal clip, insert the spare and reassemble everything.
