Default How to remove headlights...

Another day...
Another problem...
Another question...

How do you remove the headlights on a S2?
I removed the 2 bolts just above the headlight, but it seems there's another bolt somewhere.
I tried to remove the level adjustment screw, but that is either stuck or not ment to be unscrewed at all.
Any suggestions?

Have you taken the little black cap off and undun the one that holds the light to the wing

do you have to unscrew the level adjuster screw at the backside of the light too somehow?

The bottom of the lights are fixed onto a Ball-Stud type arrangement. The light just pulls off of this with a bit of force (its meant to). Make sure the 2 fixings at the top of the light are loose, and then get your hands under the light towards the indicator, and then sharply pull / jerk the the headlight straight out of the front of the car. Once you've done it once, you'll understand and the other one will be a piece of cake.

Hope this makes sense.......
