Let's see how to replace the headlight bulbs on a Mercedes-Benz S-Class: open the hood by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard, and secure it with the prop rod. Locate the inspection cover of the headlight (located at the back of the headlight) and remove it (if not possible, remove the headlight from its housing).

At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs with the help of a screwdriver.

Install the new bulbs (always the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder into the headlight housing. Reassemble all the parts that were removed earlier.
