How to Replace the Headlight Bulb on a Mercedes A-Class

Model: Mercedes Classe A W168 - Years 1997-2004
Part: Headlight

To replace the low beam bulbs in the front headlight of the Mercedes A-Class, first, determine how to access the position at the rear of the headlight assembly where the bulb is located. In this vehicle, there is a small access cover to reach the bulb directly inside the fender corresponding to the headlight, located in front of the tire. Once you locate the access cover and turn the steering wheel to rotate the wheels, creating the necessary space to work, you can open it and proceed to remove the old low beam bulb and replace it with the new one.
