Replacing the Front Headlight Bulb

Model: Mercedes Clk A208, W208, C208 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Light bulb

Once the bonnet is open, there is enough space behind the headlights to proceed with replacing the bulbs; start by removing the protective cap of the bulb holder by turning it anti-clockwise, disconnect the power connector of the bulb itself, and release the retaining spring. Then extract the old bulb and insert the new one, orienting it correctly to fit it into its housing, secure it by attaching the rear spring, and finally reconnect the power connector and the protective cap to seal everything.
