Do you want to replace the front headlight bulbs on a Mercedes A-Class? Let's see how to proceed: open the hood by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard, and secure it with the prop rod. Remove the bolts on top of the headlight using a socket wrench (as shown in the video).

Once the bolts are removed, take the headlight out of its housing; disconnect the bulb holders from the metal clips and install the new bulbs.

Reinstall the previously removed headlight into the front bumper (using the appropriate socket wrench) along with the necessary parts and bolts. Finally, test the lights to ensure they are functioning correctly.
