How to Replace the Front Headlight Bulbs on a Mercedes GLK

Model: Mercedes Glk MK 1 - Years 2008-2015
Part: Headlight bulb

Are your bulbs blown and need replacing? Here’s how to proceed with the replacement. Open the bonnet 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 rear of the headlight) and remove it. You will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver. Fit the new bulbs (always the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing. Connect the power terminals and test the bulbs.
