Technical Headlamp chrome trim removal

[RDS]

Hello all

Is removal from within the front luggage area by removing the spring and undoing the two nuts?
Will this upset the headlamp aim?
Cheers

You don't need to touch the 'nuts', which are in fact screws. The head of the screws should sit in the holes FROM THE FRONT and NOT THROUGH the holes. To take a headlamp out all you have to do is pull the electrical plug off and then unclip the spring. The headlamp is located into the body with a 'tang' on the head lamp that fits into a slot in the rim of the headlamp aperture. It is the screws being held against the holes by the spring that hold the lamps ecure and allow adjustment.

Aha! Thank you very much Hobbler! I'll have a go. Working in a dark garage did not help in my description.

Much obliged!

Thanks again Hobbler; new chrome went in (part from the rim retaining spring rob trapping my thumb!)

Looks great however one side is a bit rattly: may have to move the main spring attachment tang out a bit.
