Headlamp removal problems..... (Read 484 times)

Neil_MV6 Junior Member Offline Posts: 233 Sutton Coldfield-West Midlands Gender: Drives: 2004 MG-ZT CDTI+135, Mazda Mx5-Mk2.5 & Kawasaki ZX9R	Headlamp removal problems..... 20. May 2009 at 12:58 I have my MOT Saturday an have a blown bulb but can't get the headlamp unit out to replace it. It's the very small dim bulb in the headlamp unit itself on passenger side. I have a 2002 MV6 with zenons. I've undone the top two bolts securing the headlamp....are there any other out of sight as it won't come out? Cheers Neil

Fiddly, but not a problem

Ive changed all bulbs at some point, only ones I needed extra on were HID bulbs themselves, which I did by removing airbox / battery

May 2009 at 13:59 just to add that there is a 3rd bolt that holds the headlight unit in, its at the bottom & on the pre-facelift & can be got at by taking off the headlight lower trim & a 1/4 drive long extension with 8mm socket, not sure how easy it is on the facelift though.
