Can't Find On Search Light Fitting!

[beezertart]

Evening All,

I have done a search and found the guide to removing and replacing the headlights on a leon,would this principally be the same for my mk2 biza as dads gonna sort mine out cos he's got the tools and muchos patience unlike meand thought being the considerate daughter i am it'd be good for him to have a handy guide haven't got around to getting a Haynes one yet,must pull my finger out!

Was searching for ages this morn during working time but couldn't find a specific guide,anyone know if there's one???

3 screws in top of grille

pop out indicators (clip on back)

undo 10mm plastic nuts for grille ends (previously hidden by indicators)

remove grille

1 screw at top of headlight (undo)

2 at bottom of headlight (undo)

curse at headlight wiring connector as it wont come undone or pulls off leaving broken wires everywhere just don't drop it - easily done

^^^^
as flapper said, also dont break where the screws go through the fitting, that's a real **** cos then they dont stay still

or dont realise that there are 2 plastic bolts holding on the grille surround and break them

all you'll need is a 10mm socket piece and ratchet, and a cross headed screwdriver

all you'll need is a 10mm socket piece and ratchet, and a cross headed screwdriver

pliers as a back up for the 10mm socket for when the plastic nuts round off

Thankyou Oh Great Knowledgable Ones

Will deffo get a Haynes next few days.......think Pops would appreciate it as he's gotta do a few bits for me,not that he knows that yet

the clips at the bottom of the grille can be a ****** to get out.... just don't go pulling the ends of the grille in an attempt to get it off (like I did.... ended up snapping it )
