Headlamp Removal

[marksnavy]

Been trying to removed the headlamps for my ford galaxy mk2

 

I am stumped, can anyone please advice about how to remove. I know theres 3 or 4 torx screws but i can't find them.

 

Cheers

4 in total, two at the top, two either "side". The top two are under plastic caps, the other two are in line with the bottom of the headlight - look down the back and sides to see them. When sliding it forward be extreamly carefull the metal guides don't scratch your bumper!

And since I just happen to have one sitting next to me (hasn't everyone? :angry: )... this should help:

Do NOT undo the bottom screws completely, jus a couple of turns. The bottom screw nearest the wing is a long way down, it is difficult to see and you will need a long screwdriver.

 

Put a thin piece of card under the headlight as you put it forwards and out to protect the paint work on the bumber. The bottom headlight fixings can scratch the paint if you're not carefull.

Thank You Mirez, your pic was very big help!

Hey guys, did you remove your grill also to get light out?
At least i did not.

No grill stays in situ

Thanks for this conversation.  Most helpful in the headlight removal.  Now if someone can just solve the problem of corroded screws!!  Full set of lights again :)  Thanks

I have fabricated a couple of stainless steel torx screws with attached washers (the wonders of araldite) for exactly this job - contact me if you get stuck .

Hi guys, this is very helpful. Before I start, do I need to remove the battery or can this job be doone with the battery in situ?

There is no need to remove the battery in order to remove the headlamp.

You don't need to disconnect the battery either. Just make sure all the lights are off.
