To replace the rear headlight bulb in a Mercedes-Benz A-Class, open the trunk and remove the side panel of the trunk corresponding to the affected light. Behind the cover, you will find the bulb holder attached to the light assembly.

Rotate the knobs or unscrew the plastic fasteners to free the holder, then pull it inward. Locate the bulb to be replaced, press it slightly, and turn it counterclockwise to remove it. Insert the new bulb of the same type, reattach the bulb holder to the light, and close the panel, ensuring it is securely fastened.
