Replace the front headlight of the Mercedes if damaged; here’s how to remove it. Open the bonnet of the car, remove the retaining bolts on the headlight bar using a socket wrench or battery-powered screwdriver. At this point, you will find more bolts at the bottom of the headlight; remove them from the metal plates.

Detach the front bumper from the vehicle. Disconnect the front headlight and then the bulb holders, extracting it from the body of the car. Fit the new headlight with new bulbs if damaged (always of the correct type and size) and insert the headlight into its housing.

Finally, tighten the headlight bolts with the socket wrench. Refit the front bumper.
