Today we will explain how to replace the rear light bulbs of the Mercedes A-Class model W 168. To replace the bulbs, we need to open the trunk and remove the side cover, disconnect the connector, and remove the bulb plate from the inside to the outside of the trunk.

We remove the bulbs by pulling them out of the plate and insert the new ones.

We place the plate back inside the light and reconnect the connector. We reinstall the side cover and follow the same steps to replace the bulbs of the left light.
