Helpful Hint: When removing the headlight, to reduce the risk of damaging the paintwork of the car body, it is preferable to remove the bumper.
Note: The work is shown on the left headlight with the bumper installed. Removing the right headlight is done in the same way.
Removal
1. Prepare the car for repair work.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Remove the radiator grille.
4. Slightly turning the hydraulic corrector working cylinder counterclockwise, remove it from the headlight housing. Disconnect the wiring harness connector from the headlight.
5. Using an 8 mm socket wrench, unscrew the three headlight mounting bolts (1). Using a 10 mm socket wrench, unscrew the two bolts securing the shield to the upper cross member of the front panel (2).
6. Disconnect the front turn signal wiring harness connector.
7. Using a 10 mm open-end wrench, under the bumper, from underneath the car, unscrew the nut securing the lower headlight bracket (the photo shows a view from below).
Warning: The following operation requires skill and care, as it is easy to damage body parts or scratch the paint on the car. If difficulties arise, then you should remove the front bumper and continue working without it.

8. Having pressed the unfastened headlight upwards, carefully, trying not to damage the paint on the wing and bumper, we remove the outer end of the headlight cover from engagement with the edge of the front wing.
9. Slightly tilting the upper edge of the trim forward, we remove its lower part from engagement with the bumper and at the same time pull the trim out from under the headlight and move it towards the front wing.
10. Remove the headlight from the car.
Installation
We install the headlight unit on the car in the reverse order, and then adjust the headlight beam.
