Removing the Front Headlight

Model: Mercedes Classe E W210 - Years 1995-2002
Part: Headlight

To perform this removal operation, you need delicacy, patience, and torx wrenches. The first step is to unscrew the screws of the radiator grille with a torx wrench, move the tabs forward, and pull out the grille. Next, remove the bumper, using a screwdriver as a lever to lift it. Using the torx wrench, you will notice a screw to unscrew to remove the headlight. Open the hood and unscrew all the screws holding the headlight, and then you're done. To reinstall the headlight, simply reverse the process.
