Headlight wiper motors

Do the headlights have to be removed before the wiper motors can be removed?

no, take off the wiper arms. Pull the panels off from under the headlights & you'll see 2 bolts in the recess (1 each side of the wiper stalk) then remove the motors thru the engine bay, they are a tight squeeze to get them out

Thanks, will have a go during the week. Then blank the holes off.

Bolt cutter would be easier if not needed.
Why are you removing?.

If you're taking them off for cosmetic reason and they work, then I'd be interested in them. I'll PM you.

Gotta agree with that, I ended up taking loads of other stuff out just to make more room.

Yeah, I did mine a few weeks back when I took my headlamps out to clean the inside of the lenses. Its a real pig of a job to maneuver them out - the drivers side one is a very very tight fit and fouls on the rigid plastic cable channelling, radiator and inner wing. It took me as long removing both headlamps as it did to remove this one motor

Lets put it this way - it ain't going back in
