Need to change my headlights

[Keef83]

Dumb ass question time, I have had a look at changing my headlights and after some fidling managed to get the drivers side headlight change, now need to do the other headlight but looks to be quite tight with the battery, is there any easy way to change the passenger side headlight without removing the battery???

Thanks in advance.

Take the bumper off! I know it sounds stupid, but its a 30min job to remove the bumper and take the headlight out so you can get to it. I spent about an hour and a half last weekend trying to fit my hids (christmas pressy from me to me) and I couldnt physicaly do it. its far easier to remove the whole light in the end, as thats what youll end up doing anyway

Good luck!

Remove the battery to get to the other side. Thats what I did when fitting my HID's.

i managed to fit my HIDs without having to remove my bumper at all! was a bit tight but managed it without much hassle!

Might have to have another go today. Car is parked up in the garage so will be able to give it a good go in the snow. Thanks for all advise.

You should be able to get to it if you just take the top and front cover off the battery. It frees up about an inch or so, which makes all the difference (pfnar, pfnar).

I have actually got to remove and replace my nearside headlight as i wasnt paying enough attention when trying to dry the condensation out of my lens and managed to melt it (idiot award goes too...)
whats actually involved in removing the bumper ('06 cupra)...anyone got any images or photo's?
