Part: Tail light

Let's see how to proceed to disassemble the rear headlight of the Mini Cooper S in case we need to replace a burned out bulb or to change the model. Let's position ourselves in front of the headlight to be removed and with a plastic lever, to avoid leaving marks, remove the chrome frame by levering along the entire edge to release the clips that hold it in place. Using a Torx screwdriver, unscrew the three screws that secure the headlight body and, always using the plastic lever, we can remove it from its seat. Now disconnect the electrical connector, for reassembly proceed in reverse with the operations.
