Hi, Does anyone know how to change the headlight on a 2003 Uylsse ?
do I have to remove the front part of car ? if so how do I do it?

Hello,

Not sure about the mk2, but on the Mk1 the headlights are secured with three Torx head bolts that are JUST accessible from the front of the car, but you have to remove the grill trim first.

Maybe similar on the Mk2.

Hi Cipher,
Thanks for the info I can find two Torx bolts one on the top and one to the side ,can't find a third one. Guess it's at the bottom of headlight and can't get to it.
Thanks for your help

sounds like the same as the mk1, then front grill/headlamp surround has to be removed to get to the other bolt.

It is just accessible with the panel off, but I would recommend a magnetic tip, I dropped the torx bolt, and had to remove the bumper to get it back!

Hi Cipher, I will have another look Monday. I have to collect a freind from Heathrow Sunday.
The headlight only needed a bulb . When I released the spring clip that holds the bulb I dropped it the headlight, nobody seems to sell the clip. That's why I have to get the headlight out

Have you tried a breakers yard?

Or even just taking the other one off and bending a piece of wire the same to fit the other side?

What about a magnet and "fish" inside the headlight?
