How to Replace the Front Headlight on the Mercedes GLA?

Model: Mercedes Gla MK 1, W156 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Light bulb

To replace the front headlight on the Mercedes GLA, unclip the clips securing the trim around the front wheel arch. This will allow you to remove the rivets inside the wheel arch: beneath the cover secured by the rivets, there will be bolts to loosen. Once this operation is completed on both sides and the bolts at the top of the bumper have been loosened, the bumper must be removed. At this point, all the bolts securing the headlight assembly must be loosened, and the headlight can be pulled out after disconnecting the connector. You can then insert the new headlight and connect it to the corresponding connector.
