Removing External Rearview Mirror for Turn Signal Bulb Replacement

Model: Mercedes Classe S MK 4, W220 - Years 1999-2005
Part: Side mirror

Replacing the bulb located in the external rearview mirror requires removing the mirror itself. This operation requires a screwdriver to unscrew the screws located behind the mirror. Fold the mirror to pull it outward with your hands to detach it from the plastic retaining supports. Remove the wire connected by acting on the connector and take off the mirror. By detaching the light fixture at the bottom, replace the broken bulb and reassemble the mirror by reversing the steps. Ensure the proper positioning of the three supports in their respective housings. Check that the adjustment mechanism still functions properly.
