Yeah I was looking at this as might need to take a head light off for cleaning as it has xenons

On my mk5 cupra face lift. But in wasn't sure how you take the head light

washer cover off without damaging the paint on it. And info on that part

would be nice :)
Do you want to clean the headlights inside?
They are sealed I think, cannot be opened.

Anyway to remove the bumper:

Cheers for that.

Yeah that shows how to remove bumper but that model doesn't have the head light washers on. There's a painted cap on those so don't think you could pull the bumper down till you remove the covers if that makes any sense. Not sure how you do that though

But has I said headlights cannot be open.
MAYBE they can but you will damage the water seals....

Ah nice. So you just lift bumper off and the washers are attached to the bumper. So I'm guessing you just unplug the power plug though i did think they are pushed open by pressure/vacuum? Cool though :)
