Replacing Headlights Help

Post by Sinus »

Hi,
Have been searching through the forum and Google and I'm a little stuck for advice.
I need to replace the headlights but my Haynes Manual doesn't seem to cover the 6n2.
There's nothing on YouTube to help.
I'm guessing the front bumper needs to removed or partially removed.
Ideally I'd like to partially remove the bumper.
Is there a tutorial anywhere that can help ?
Cheers guys...

In the wheelarch remove all screws of the mudscreen.
Underside bumper remove all screws of the rockcatcher.
Behind the grills remove screws.
Pull towards you.

Look on your new lights where the mounting points are.
