Removing Side Turn Signal Light

Model: Mercedes Sl MK 5, R129 - Years 1989-2001
Part: Side marker bulb

If you need to replace the bulb of the side turn signal light, it is necessary to remove the light itself, which is fixed to the fender through a plastic tab that acts as an anchoring spring; you can practically remove the light by pressing it forward to compress the spring enough to pull the rear part of the light out and detach it from the fender; if you do not want to risk damaging this plastic tab (the plastic loses its elastic properties over time and may break), you can also remove the plastic wheel well cover and access the light from the inside to detach it.
