Headlight removal problems

Looking for clues here....

I managed to change one headlamp easily enough, a bit of silicon spray on the runners helped the replacement slide in smoothly

The second won't budge - using the removal tool to turn the lever just results in a loud click but no movement of the headlamp

Obviously this is also a problem if I want to change bulbs..

Can I get at it from the wheel arch if I remove the liner?

Any other tips?

Thanks

Ed

Click to expand...

Yes, you can :thumb: May be the only option if it's stuck there.. Remove the liner and you'll be able to push it from the back of the unit
 
Sorted - thanks :)

How many different types of fastener do they use on those arch liners! - I hate those trim clips...
