Want to remove the front headlight of a Mercedes S-Class? Let’s see how to proceed with the disassembly in the instructional video. Open the hood by pulling the hood release lever and secure it. Remove the retaining pins on the headlight bar using a socket wrench or battery-powered screwdriver.

At this point, you will find additional pins on the lower side of the headlight; unscrew them from the metal brackets. Disconnect the bulb holders from the headlight and remove the headlight from the vehicle body.

Install the new headlight with new bulbs if damaged (always use the correct type and size) and insert the headlight into its housing. Finally, tighten the pins on the headlight and test the proper functioning of the lights.
