Helpful advice. When removing the headlight unit, to reduce the risk of damaging the vehicle bodywork, it is preferable to remove the bumper.
Note. The work is shown on the left block headlight with the bumper installed. Removing the right headlight unit is carried out in the same way.
Removing
1. We prepare the car for repair work.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Remove the grille.
4. Slightly turning the working cylinder of the hydraulic corrector 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 harness connector.
7. With a 10 mm spanner wrench under the bumper, from the bottom of the car, unscrew the nut securing the lower headlight bracket (pictured bottom view).
Warning. Performing the following operation requires skill and accuracy, 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 loose headlight upwards, carefully, trying not to damage the paint on the wing and bumper, we remove the outer end of the headlight trim from engagement with the edge of the front wing.
9. Slightly tilting the upper edge of the trim forward, disengage its lower part from 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 block headlight from the car.
Installation
We install the headlight unit on the car in the reverse order, after which we adjust the headlight beam.
