Open the bonnet and locate the position of the headlamp bulb to be replaced. Once located, simply rotate the cover counterclockwise to unscrew it. Remove the gasket, disconnect the plug connecting the power cables, and finally, press with two fingers to compress the spring holding the bulb in place.

Pull the bulb out of its housing and replace it with the new one. When handling the new bulb, do not touch the glass with your fingers. Refit the spring, cables, and cover.

To replace the bulb in the other headlamp, the procedure is similar. The car shown in the images is a Mercedes CLK.
