Replacing headlight unit

[slippyjim]

Hiya,

I've got my new angel eye headlights for my 1.2 Clio II Mk2 and thought it would be a simple 10 minute job to replace them, but how they hell do you do it???

I've searched the web trying to find help or instruction but got nowhere.
Do I really need to remove the complete front bumper?

help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TIA
Steve

Yes. Bumper off.

 

[slippyjim]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

come back Corsa, all is forgiven

Suppose I'd better start looking for instructions on how to remove the bumper then not the headlight!!!

How long should it take to take the bumper off, roughly?

 

[Gumby]

5 minutes?

 

[Schweppy]

Approximately lol

 

[mattjk]

about 15- 20 mins if you havnt done it before

Dead easy to take bumper off. 6 - 8 nuts iirc.

 

[Chrisjk]

Remember there are 2 hidden bolts under the arch covers, there the most dificult ones to do, after that its pish.

 

[MrMark]

yeah, but after all the others are removed, you can prise the arch out of the bumper side a little and get to the nut. Its about half way up and a "lip" holds it.

Done it all OK, got interrupted halfway through by having to do some work.....

15-20 mins hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm a little longer than that for me!!!
I could probably do it in 20 mins second time around, didnt help by having rubbish tools and undoing the wrong nut in the wheel arch at first


but I've done it so wooooooohoooooooooooooooo!!!

when i installed angel eyes onto my better halfs clio, it was about a 20 minute job in the darn rain but didnt have a need to take the bumper off though? just a long torx screwdriver to reach into the under area of the headlight where its held in

 

[slippyjim]

Not the same as my headlights then as mine are held in by 10min bolts.

 

[boydats2cute]

do you have a ph2?
