How to replace the headlight bulb of the Mini Cooper

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

Replacing the front headlight bulbs of the Mini Cooper R56 model is a very simple and quick operation to perform independently. First, we open the front hood and secure it with the locking rod, then we move towards the left headlight and remove the inner cap of the light fixture; we remove the bulb by disconnecting it from its connector. We mount the new bulb on the connector and insert it into the headlight, close the light fixture cap and move to the right headlight where we will perform the same steps. We test the operation of the bulbs by turning on the headlights and then close the hood.
