[This article refers to Mk4 Mondeo]
Tools needed for headlamp unit removal:
Torx T-30, cross-blade screwdriver, eventually also small flat-blade screwdriver.
Removal
(1) Open the bonnet :)
(2) Remove two screws (Torx T-30).
(3) Remove the plastic screw and retainer. If the plastic screw doesn't come out, facilitate it by placing a small flat-blade screwdriver between the screw and the retainer and lifting the screw up.
(4) Pull the corner of the grille and bumper towards the front of the car and
(5) lift the corner of the headlamp and push it as far as possible towards the back of the car.
Aim of steps (4) and (5) is to move the headlamp front corner behind the bumper/grille.
(6) Pull the headlamp towards the centre of the vehicle, behind the grille and bumper, to disengage it from the lower outer fixing point (see subsequent pictures).
(7) Remove the headlamp by moving the headlamp towards the front / to the right.
Steps (6) and (7) are done almost simultaneously.
(8) Unclip the connector, and the headlamp unit is yours.
For location of lower outer fixing point (car body and headlamp unit), see the following pictures.
Some people claim that they have successfully omitted removal step (3).
Fitting
Fitting - in reverse order.
When tightening the two Torx T-30 screws, tighten the front screw first and the rear screw afterwards.
