Front Headlight Bulb Replacement

Model: Mercedes Classe A W168 - Years 1997-2004
Part: Headlight bulb

To replace the front headlight bulb, you need to remove the headlight assembly by unscrewing the mounting pins and releasing the bumper on the side (there are screws under the edge of the fender to remove) to allow for extraction. Once the headlight is removed, take off the rubber cap, disconnect the power connector for the bulb and the bulb retaining spring; then extract the old bulb and insert the new one, securing it with the retaining spring, reconnect the power connector, and reposition the protective cap. Finally, reverse the steps to reinstall the headlight.
