Hymer Exsis headlight removal

[Speve]

Hello all can anyone tell me how to take out the headlight? I have removed the three retaining machine screws on the front but there still seems to be something stopping the whole unit pulling out I thinkthere is another flexible fixing somewhere around the back but can't seem to find out how to disconnect it.
Thanks in anticipation.

the whole thing is held in place by a rubber bung type fitting, it just needs confidence to pull firmly enough to remove, I think I have a photo of mine when out I will look for it now

Thanks mate I'll have a go then I thought it was something like that but didn't want to force it until I found out a bit more info,I read your thread re this earlier in the year and as you said at £1500 you don't need another breakage.

didn't take full picture, but near bottom is a rubber fitting about 1" diameter that is a friction fit but ours was quite tight, I think it only locates it correctly, maybe a little suspension effect good luck

Note on my photo above we also found out TW had not replaced the rubber boot cover over the bi xenon bulb when changing mine, had to buy another

good luck

I should add, you need to be equally brave pushing it back into place when refitting

I also chose to replace my fixing bolts which were already rusting on mine, now stainless steel

why are you taking it out?

@DavidG58 thanks very much for that I have done it all I needed was the reassurance from someone else that a hard pull would do the trick as you said before it's easy when you know how.
