How to change a front bulb of a Mercedes A-Class W169

Model: Mercedes Classe A W169 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Light bulb

In this video, we will see how to change the headlight bulb of a Mercedes Classe A W169. We open the hood: to access the bulbs on the driver's side, it is advisable to remove the windshield washer fluid reservoir; then we can easily reach the rubber covers that protect the bulbs, starting with the high beams that have an H7 bulb. We will need to disconnect the electrical connector, turn the bulb retaining ring counterclockwise and remove it. Remember to never touch the new bulb with bare hands, but use gloves when performing this operation. Proceed in the opposite direction by rotating the bulb clockwise for a quarter turn. The position light bulb is located in the same compartment, but to remove it you just need to pull it towards you. The cover on the body side instead contains the H7 bulb for the low beams: we will proceed as for the high beams. For the turn signal bulbs, we will need to enter through the wheel well, and then proceed as for the high beams.
