Instructions for Removing the Front Headlamp

Model: Mercedes Classe M W163 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Headlight

Removing the front headlamp is very simple and, unlike many other models, does not require removing the bumper: it is sufficient to remove the trim located just below the headlamp, secured with a plastic tab on the inner side of the headlamp itself; once this trim is removed, you can access the pins underneath that secure the headlamp to the grille, then remove the upper one; at this point, you can extract the headlamp from its housing, taking care of the plastic tab that connects it to the inner edge of the wing, which allows for perfect alignment.
