Headlight Removal Mk2 xantia

Post by xantiagreen »

Hi, How does the main headlight plug from the back of the headlights remove, I removed a long rubbery plastic u clip that was in above the clip but nothing happened, I am trying to fit the rubber bungs that sit ontop of a star shaped screw above both headlights.

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean "How to remove the headlight connector?"
- Press the metal clip as seen in the pic, in the arrow direction and at the same time pull the connector away from the headlight.

Or do you mean "How to remove the headlight?"
- There are 2 torx screws above and 1 more torx screw below which is hidden.
Remove the plastic trim below the headlight to reach it.

I tried looking for a clip like one in picture and there is one but its under the plug so i can't see it, I tried applying pressure in the middle and pulling but it seems not wanting to come away the clip that is. Whats with the long U shape plastic thing that slots around the clip area, it slides out with a bit of push (not sure what that does) but nothing seems to move.

That metal clip is under the connector. You can not see it looking from above.
It is a one piece metal (almost U shape) and the locking parts releases when pressed as in pic.
The locking parts are seen in pic, they are In the same level as the 5 pins, on both sides.

May be because of corrosion it's difficult to disconnect.
