I've personally disassembled the headlights of a Chery Tiggo 3 several times. The steps are quite simple but require attention to detail. Start by preparing the tools: a Phillips screwdriver and a flathead screwdriver are essential. After opening the hood, you'll see plastic covers or bumper parts around the headlights. Gently remove those clip-on protective panels. Then locate the fixing screws, usually at the corners or sides of the headlight—there might be 2-3 of them. Carefully loosen them without losing the screws. Don't forget to turn off all light switches and disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent electric shock risks. After unscrewing, gently unplug the wiring connector at the back of the headlight—there's a small clip that needs to be pressed to release it. Then, hold the headlight unit with both hands and pull it out with a bit of force. Avoid prying hard to prevent scratching the paint or damaging the mounting base. The whole process takes about 5 minutes. When reinstalling, reverse the steps and ensure all parts are properly fitted without air leaks. Remember to check the light functions afterward.
