Part: Headlight bulb

Let's see how to replace the headlight bulbs on a Mercedes C-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 cap of the headlight (located at the back of the headlight) and remove it. At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holder out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver or needle-nose pliers.
