- Angle the motor down while pulling it upwards so that it releases from the reflector.

- Grasp the lamp and pull the reflector back towards the mounting in the headlamp housing so that the mounting for the reflector is visible. The reflector mounting on the motor can be screwed in and out. Adjust as necessary.





Hint: Counterhold the reflector when installing the motor.

Install:
- the motor from above at an angle in the headlamp housing. Hook the motor onto the lower edge of the reflector mounting
- the motor in the headlamp housing. Turn the motor so that the white tip is pointing straight up
- the connector for the motor
- the protective cover for the bulb
- the air hose to the control module housing (when replacing on the right-hand side).

Finishing
