Great video. Just replaced mine, but did not have to remove the panel shown in the video. I was able to turn the front wheel all the way away, loosen fender shroud, and done. If you need an extra hand, there is an access panel under the fog light, in the large underside shroud this video shows being removed. A simple turn of a flat screwdriver opens the access from below. Obviously engineered in to make replacing a burned out bulb a piece of cake.
What ever reward gifted to the camera person it is way too little. Great focus on the center of attention. Love your enthusiasm about your MB. Just purchased an 99 e300. It was a rash decision and my first car in 15 years and my 6th MB. After watching your video I feel much better about the purchase even with a looming $6k repair. Did not notice coolant smell in air vents. That repair is postponed till....now it's front shimmy and breaks Somehow seeing you check the battery voltage through the CC made it all worth it.
Good video! I love when the every guy who's a layman posts a video solving a problem that can save all of us DIYers a chunk of money. The dealer would have hammered you for $300 bucks top do this job. Thank you for posting this.
Just got my SL500 out of the shop and the first thing I was greeted with was "Front left fog lamp out" warning. :( Gonna try and do this myself. Thanks for the vid!
Considering that your car was not lifted on the jack, you did a really good and quick job. I need to do the same job on mine 2009 E 320 Bluetec. By the way, how happy are you with your diesel engine? This is my 4th Mercedes Diesel. Tell me please how you like diesel engines and congrats for your light replacement.
Thanks! I'm very happy with this car and the 1996 E300 Diesel I had before this. My 2005 has the OM648 turbo-diesel engine. It has excellent power and fuel economy and has been very reliable. I did have to replace the turbocharger this year, but with over 200k miles I considered that reasonable. How do you like the Bluetec?
I just bought the 2009 Bluetec E 320 V 6 Diesel this past July with 150 K miles and it runs very smooth. It is very comfortable and the engine runs very quite and very economic. I drive 54 miles everyday to go to and from work and I get an average of 30.8 mpg city/highway. I like diesel engines because it is very simple engines, low maintenance, easy to work and to do any repair, and engines that last forever. At this time I have three Mercedes diesel. Two 300 SD (1982 and 1984) and 2009 Bluetec E320. My two 300SD has already over 400 K miles. Anyway I am very satisfied with the Bluetec.
The wires of my passenger fog light were cut off and I don't know where to find the wires so I can make a connection. I think there 2 wires, one green and one brown, but I am not sure. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Hi, have you tried using LED fog light? I wonder to know if "Check Lamp" on dashboard if changed. Do you need any resistor to avoid canbus error? Thanks.
Cuckoo's Nest! Look at this video on 3:38. You will see a techno-holes with 2 screws for replace a bulbs, also fog-lights. By the way, Russians will be displace a bumper to replace a fog-light bulb :D

Walmart has a pair of Rhino ramps for 32 dollars... well worth the money if You plan more DIY adventures... self repair saves lots of $$$
