How to Replace the Low Beam Bulb on the New Mercedes A-Class

Model: Mercedes Classe A W176 - Years 2012-2018
Part: Headlight bulb

To replace the low beam bulbs on the new Mercedes A-Class, there is no maneuvering space behind the headlights, so access cannot be made from the engine compartment. However, the designers have provided an access window inside the wheel well: by turning everything inward, you can remove the cover and access the back of the headlight. At this point, you can detach the bulb holder and replace the corresponding bulb (consider installing LED bulbs). The alternative would be to remove the headlight and then the bumper.
