Replacing the Front Indicator Bulb

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

The front indicator bulb is integrated within the headlamp and replacing it is fairly simple, but it is necessary to remove the air filter housing for better access; once you reach the back of the headlamp, the indicator is located at the top, disconnect the power connector and rotate the bulb holder anti-clockwise to extract it from the headlamp; proceed to replace the bulb (bayonet fitting) with an orange one; reposition the bulb holder in its housing and connect the power, checking for functionality.
