Today we will explain how to replace the headlight bulbs on the Mercedes 190. The first bulbs we will replace are those of the front fog lights; the first step is to open the bonnet and remove the headlight covers, which you can simply disconnect. Once the covers are removed, you can take out the connectors linked to the bulbs and extract them.

The bulbs for the main beams are also located on the same plane, connected by a connector that, once removed, will allow you to pull out the bulb. Once the bulbs are extracted, you can install new ones and reconnect them to the connectors.
