How to Fit the Front Headlight of a Seat Altea

Model: Seat Altea MK 1 - Years 2004-2015
Part: Headlight

Let's see how to fit the front headlight of a Seat Altea. Open the bonnet by pulling the bonnet release lever and secure it. Remove the front bumper (if necessary for disassembly). Unscrew the fastening bolts on the headlight bar using a socket or battery-powered screwdriver. At this point, you will find additional bolts at the bottom of the headlight; unscrew them from the metal plates. Disconnect the bulb holders from the headlight and remove it from the vehicle body. Fit the new headlight with new bulbs if damaged (always of the correct type and size), insert the headlight into its housing and tighten the headlight bolts with the socket.
