Today we will explain how to replace the headlights bulbs of the Mercedes Class A model W 168. To replace the left headlight bulb, we need to disconnect the expansion tank; we lift the yellow locking lever to move and raise the expansion tank. To replace the high beam bulbs, we need to remove the cover on the grille side and grasp the connector to disconnect it. To remove the bulb, we must detach the metal lever and pull it outward.

We insert the bulb into the headlight and lift the metal lever, connect the connector, and close the grille cover. To replace the position light bulb, we need to remove the connector, take out the bulb, and insert the new one, which will work once connected to the connector.

To replace the low beam bulb, we need to remove the cover from the body side. We disconnect the electrical connector of the bulb by pulling the black part and being careful not to pull the wires.

We rotate the tab and pull out the bulb. We insert the bulbs by rotating them inward and locking the tab, connect the connector, and close the cover.

We proceed in the same way to replace the right front headlight bulbs.
