Changing head light on the clio 197

[Red 07dansky]

Hey guys and ladies
Today i changed my lights on the 197 so i am gonna tell you how the easy way!!!!!!!!!!
you will need a few tools
10m socket
baby rachet
medium ext
long ext
flat screwdriver

ok start on the driver side turn the wheel so it is facing inwards

on the mud guard you can see two round plugs use the screwdriver and remove these plugs be gentle people!!!
you can now drop the mud guard
ok there is one bolt on the corner of the bumper and another under the headlamp remover these

ok open the bonnet you will see 2 plugs either side 2 bolts in the middle remove these now the bumper can be pulled forward and you will see the final bolt for the headlight remove this and you can pull it gently and it is loosen pull out gently and away you go

there sholud be enough space to get your hands in

ok people if you dont feel comfortable doing this dont do it i advise if you have not done any of this dont do it this is only for people who know what they are doing

I found it easier to remove the whole bumper. Think there is a guide on here

Oh and welcome

I was gonna take the bumper but i wasn't to sure about the pop rivets on the undergaurd
so how did you get on with your one ?

Nah pop rivets are part of the under bumper, they come off with it. Few 10mm underneath iirc

5 10mm's in the cross member!
