In this video tutorial, you will learn how to remove and replace the dipped beam bulbs in the front headlights of a Mercedes SLK. First, disassemble the front headlight: unscrew and remove the 10 mm nut that secures the bumper, the 8 mm nut that holds the indicator housing, and finally, the nuts that will allow you to successfully pull out the headlight.

Once extracted and disconnected, remove the black plastic cap found on the back of the headlight to access the bulbs: in this case, extract and fit the new H7 dipped beam bulbs rated at 55 W. Reassemble everything.

And you're done!
