Instructions for Removing the Front Headlight

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

To remove the front headlight, start by opening the front bonnet, then unclip and remove the trim piece located just below the headlight (it has a plastic tab at the inner edge), unscrew the three fixing bolts, one at the top and two at the bottom, and unclip the plastic tab that secures it to the wing; at this point, you can pull the headlight from its housing and pull it forward enough to disconnect the connector. Overall, this is a very simple operation, especially as it does not require removing the bumper.
