T5.1 headlight removal

[Smelf36]

Anyone have instructions on how to remove the headlight from a T5.1, just managed to crack one of mine so need to swap it out. Do I have to remove the front bumper? Tia

To save you looking on Google yourself... Yes. Lots of videos on Youtube.

I tried YouTube actually and they all seem to be for the T5 not the 5.1, but thanks for your help

Yes you do. There is a guide here on a T6 but the bolts and screws are in the same place. The only difference IIRC is the clips that hold the bumper to the wing on a T6 are 10mm nuts on T5.1

The above video by THQ is great and I followed it when doing the same job, but it's quite hard to have the video to hand at each step and so I forgot a step, so this is just a picture guide that you can use as you go along. Also, in spite of having a young van, these trim clips were a PITA, so...
