Alfa Romeo 147 GTA/Ti Headlights Conversion Guide

9:04 PM by onesecond ·
This guide will help you to convert the standard headlights on Alfa Romeo 147 into the GTA/Ti pack headlights with black inner plastic.
Quick guide (for advanced alfisti):
1. Lift the car
2. Remove the front wheels
3. Remove plastic inner wheel arches
4. Disconnect front turn indicators
5. Remove the front bumper (disconnect headlight washers first if you have them)
6. Remove headlights
7. Open the headlights and paint the inner plastic black or car color
8. Use silicone sealant to piece the headlight together
9. Install everything back in reverse order
10. Enjoy

Step by step guide:
1.
• Raise the vehicle.
• If you can’t raise the vehicle completely, secure the car against movement (pull handbrake, cog the rear wheels) and lift the front with two hydraulic jacks.
• Remove the bolts fixing under engine protection and remove the protection
2.
• Take off your front wheels.
• Unscrew the engine dust protection retaining bolts (red arrows) and remove the protection.
• Unscrew the 5 wheel arch bolts (blue arrows), detach the wheel arch and remove it
3.
• This is how the right inner wing looks like without the wheel arch. Follow the same procedure for the left side of the vehicle.
• Remove the lower bolt holding the bumper on the sides (red arrow)
4. Working from under the wing remove the two bolts on the inner side of the bumper (red arrows).
5. By now, you should have removed all five bolts from under the bumper. The three in the front (red arrows) you should have removed in step 1 with the under engine protection. The two on the sides you should have removed in the step 3.
