How to remove facelift headlight motors?

[Dan_BlackSRi]

Trying to fit my new angel eyes into my facelift but struggling to remove the levelling motors from my original Sri lights, how do they come out?

They just twist off and then pull the ball out the holder but when refitting put you fingers in the light and hold the bit you pop it onto or you can pop the thing right off.

If that makes sense.

Yes, took me a little while with the first, then literally 2 mins for the second one.

I found it best to twist the motor which releases it from the holder, then pivot it towards the outside of the light unit, then it just slides out, and to put back is the same - no popping required

All in and sorted - even got the local garage to align them for me
