How to Replace a Car Headlight Assembly?

[BraydenDella]

Here is the method for replacing a car headlight assembly: 1. Removal of the front bumper: First, prop up the engine compartment cover plate. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the fixing screws on both sides of the car's grille, then use a flathead screwdriver to loosen and pull out the plastic screw in the middle of the grille. 2. Removal of the side screws of the bumper: Use a flathead screwdriver to pry open the fender liner inside the tire, exposing the fixing screws on the side of the bumper. Then, simply loosen them with a Phillips screwdriver. 3. Removal of the fixing screws under the bumper: The operating space under the car's chassis is low and narrow. Use the car's onboard tools to securely support the front wheels. Then, use an M10 Torx or open-end wrench and a Phillips screwdriver to remove the fixing screws, allowing the entire front bumper to be detached. 4. Removal of the headlight connector: The car's front fog lights are attached to the bumper. If the fog light connector wire is long enough, you can simply loosen and lower the front bumper. To remove the fog light connector, just twist it at an angle to release it. 5. Removal of the headlight: The F3 car headlight bracket has a total of 3 fixing screws—two on top and one at the bottom. Use an M10 open-end wrench to loosen the headlight bracket bolts, then unplug the 4 light connectors on the headlight assembly. 6. Installation of the new headlight assembly: Since the 4 connectors on the headlight assembly are all different, simply align them with the sockets and press them in fully. Newly purchased headlight assemblies usually come with bulbs included. 7. Reinstallation of the front bumper: Reinstall the front bumper into place. The car's headlights are like its eyes, and a new set can instantly refresh the appearance of an older vehicle.
