Removing and installing headlights
The description for removing the headlight refers to the left
headlight; in principle the same procedure applies to the
right headlight.
Removing
– Switch off the ignition and the lights.
– Open the bonnet.
– Take the screwdriver and the interchangeable Torx socket
out of the vehicle tool kit.
– Remove the screws ⇒ fig. 246 that secure the trim panel
to the lock carrier and detach the trim panel.
– Slacken the two screws that secure the headlight to the
lock carrier and the screw at the underside of the head-
light (this screw is located between the cover and the
rubber cap and should not be slackened more than ten
turns) ⇒ fig. 247.
– Carefully pull the headlight forward about 60 mm.
– Release and unplug the electrical connector.
– Carefully take the headlight out towards the front (swivel
it slightly if necessary).
