Removing and Installing Headlight Mount

Removing And Installing Headlight Mount







NOTE:
- The main headlights are fitted into the body at the factory.
- Adjustment of the headlight with mount is only necessary following damage (e.g. accident damage).
- As of model year 2004, New mounts will be installed, which can be retrofitted for older vehicles. The advantage of this is that the mount can be adjusted more quickly from the front.

Removing Headlight Mount
Remove the headlights.
Remove the front spoiler.







NOTE:
- The fastening screws have a hexagon at the top and can therefore be unscrewed from the front.
- It is therefore important to turn the screws in the opposite direction when screwing the back fastening screws in and out.

1. Unscrew the back fastening screws "1" with the adjusting wrench 9717 "a" ("arrow").
2. Undo the front fastening screws "2".







3. Pull the mount forwards slightly "arrow A".
4. Release plug "arrow B" and pull it off "arrow C", then remove the mount "arrow A".

Adjusting Headlight Mount
