Part: Headlight
Operation: After market headlight installation with daylight

In order to disassemble the headlights it is necessary to remove the mask and bumper. Therefore, open the front hood and remove the plastic cover in correspondence with the power steering oil pan (immediately behind the left headlight), unscrew the fixing screws of the bezel and pull it forwards: to remove it, release the opening lever of the bonnet (extract the two fixing pins of the plastic cover of the lock and release the lever fixing catch). Unscrew all the fixing bolts of the bumper, also in the wheel arches, and remove the bumper by releasing the sockets connected to it. Then unscrew the fixing pins of the front grille and remove it. At this point unscrew the fixing pins of the headlights, disconnect the sockets from the bulb holders and extract them from their seat. Move the adjustment pins from the old headlights to the new ones and proceed with the installation of the new headlights on board the car, reassembling what was previously removed.
