Installation of Aftermarket Xenon Headlight Accessory Kit

Model: Mercedes Classe C W204 - Years 2007-2013
Part: Xenon headlight kit

For this operation, you need to obtain the lamp conversion kit. You will require: a needle-nose pliers, a hand drill, and a hole saw. Open the hood and locate the back of the headlight. Remove the cover, take out the socket, and remove the spring and the bulb from the headlight. Using pliers, bend the terminals of the bulb's retaining spring. With the drill, make a hole in the cover large enough to pass the cable clamp through. Open the package of the new bulb, removing the packaging, and absolutely avoid touching the glass bulb with your hands. Insert the bulb into the headlight, ensuring it aligns with the reference notches; the bulb must be installed correctly and in the right orientation. Reattach the retaining spring and connect the socket to the bulb. Replace the metal cover, close it, and check for proper operation.
