Replacing the Brake Light Bulb

Model: Mercedes Clk A208, W208, C208 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Checks and maintenance

You can change the brake light bulb yourself without needing to go to a garage. The brake light bulbs are among the most important in a car as they signal to those behind that you are slowing down or braking. By checking your car's manual, you can determine which bulbs need to be fitted to your vehicle. Once you have removed the rear lamp, you can access the bulb directly. Next, open the boot to expose the fixing screws of the lamp and begin unscrewing them. Once the lamp is removed, it will be easy to access the bulb that needs to be changed.
