My rt. front turn signal lens was cracked, Mini dealer sells me the whole assembly, says it's a piece of cake to install. I open the bonnet, and find that there are two screws to hold the light assembly on the top and two on the bottom-the bottom screws don't seem to be accessible. Help-how do I access these screws to remove the signal light assembly???

I had to take off my bumper cover in order to replace my turn signal. There are screws going into the wheel wells and into the top and bottom of the cover. then you have to disconnect some wire harness to seperate the cover and get access. It helps if you can get your car up on ramps (rhino ramps from pep boys work well with the MINI) to get access to the lower screws.

Sorry that this turn signal frustration was the reason for your first post on NAM and not something more fun. Anyhow, welcome to NAM. :smile:
