I've got a cracked headlight and it needs replacing.

Is this a big job and does anyone know the procedure?

Cheers in advance

To replace the headlamp, you need to remove the front bumper or drop it down one side at least, to get to lower lamp fixings.
1. disconnect bonnet pull catch
2. remove front grill
3. remove T30 Torx screws (4, I think)
4. remove both lower vent covers & 2 more T30 torx screws
5. remove 3/4 per side inner wheel arch T25 Torx screws
Bumper should then come forward enough to remove Lamp fixings...
Remember alot of the time bulbs need to swapped to new lamps & headlamp leveling motor swapped over.
If your not sure book into dealer, will cost about an hours labour!!!
Hope this heps you out Golfer7
