Hello

Apologise if this has been asked else where on the group. I have just bought a new set of headlamps for my 2005 MR2 and would like some advice please on fitting. I'm not too bad with a spanner but not. Qualified mechanic either! I've managed to get the plastic cover off around the spare wheel and located 2 of the 3 bolts but unsure how to get at the 3rd one which I understand is in the front wheel arch? How is this best tackled please. Do I need the wheel off and how do I get in behind the wheel arch plastic liner without damaging it. Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated

Take care Kenny

Technically you need to remove the front bumper, but I think I remember being able to remove it by turning the wheel of the side you're working on inwards, undoing the inner liner a bit on the bumper side, and then squashing your hand in with a 10mm (??) socket to undo the bolt.
...neutiquam erro.
