Part: Headlight bulb

Replacing burnt-out front headlight bulbs on a Mercedes A-Class? Here's how to remove and replace them. 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 behind the headlight. Remove the cover cap at the back of the headlight using your hands or a screwdriver. Take out the bulbs from the headlight with the help of a screwdriver. Install the new bulbs (always the correct type and size). Insert the bulb into the headlight along with the black socket. Reattach the headlight cover and lower it to close the hood. Get in the vehicle and turn on the headlight lights.
