Model: Mercedes Slk MK 2, R171 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: Removing the external rear-view mirror to change the lamps

Replacing the bulbs inside the exterior rear-view mirror involves disassembling it. The operation requires the use of a screwdriver to unscrew the screws located behind the mirror. Fold the mirror so that you can pull it outwards with your hands to release it from the plastic retaining supports. Remove the connected wire by acting on the connector and remove the mirror. Fold the support outwards and unscrew the three sealing screws using a torx wrench. Remove the other three fixing screws and remove the mirror cover by pulling outwards, paying attention to the connected cables. Now remove the screws of the light bulb holder. Always replace the lamps with identical models to the original ones. Reassemble the mirror by proceeding with the reverse operations.
