removing the headlights is very straight forward
its x3 8mm bolts as shown in the video
with the headlamp removed
you will be able to heat the headlamp and begin to pry apart the lens cover from the headlamp itself
it is stuck togetehr using d-mastic
and with heat d - mastic becomes soft and easy to handle
and pry apart
but heat is the key here

hey guys just wanted to point out that obviously in order to remove the headlight from the car you also need to disconnect the headlamp plug and if you have headlamp washers ..you must disconnect them too... hope this helps anyone who needs to do this... if you need to actually see how top remove the headlight from the car i will do that eventually ...stay tuned for more upcoming videos
MIKEYZ VLOGZ hey man, what’s can you get back to me
Hey mate,just wanted to say thank you, your videos are to the point and detailed. Thanks for putting your efforts and time 😃
ur welcome buddy I'm glad u got some use out of the video and it helps u with ur endeavours
Big thanks for this excellent idea putting it in the box. I've got a CLS55 AMG and the lenses need replacing, I'll use this technique. Top video buddy keep up the good work.
thank you
Did this process to a Nissan altima. They no longer made HID headlamp assemblies. Had to purchase halogen and swap the lenses since I was mainly replacing the units due to oxidation of the originals. Used a heat gun in a box. Put a thermometer in the box to see the temp. Let the temp it around 230. Turned off heat gun and let sit for another 5 mins and then pryed odd the lens. Its a bit tough but as you work a flat screwdriver thorugh the adhesive, it eventually pulls apart. I did have to reheat again when some parts had extra glue that was not pulling apart easily.
good on ya mate ... well done
I have done this...to reseal my w204 headlight moisture problem...Thanks for the good v-guide (video guide).
Good to hear
good explanation.very clear details . makes me confident enough to want to do this. thanks
Excellent video very detailed information jam packed with precision... thank you for taking the time to share this with us .... cannot wait to see what u do with the headlight... bell rung
love it just awesome mate soooo informative ..things i never wpuld have consideres and thought about...well done..no.1 fan
Great video mate. Definitely worth a like and subscribe.
thank you
Thanks, you are great 👏🏻
appreciate u
good info... well.explained ..very detailed... keep up the good work
Great information and really good instructions. Only improvement would be to get rid of the music in the background so we can hear you better.
noted I try make it softer or get rid of it completely ... some ppl want music some don't.. I. so torn lol.. I'll just do me ... but ye when it's important info I remove music
Outstanding video, thank you! You've helped me out quite a bit with my new to me '08 C63.
Thanka mate
Wow u made it look so easy ...
Can you creat a video removing the lens on 2016 Mercedes Benz E350 w212. I will really appreciate. You do an awesome videos by the way.👏🏼👏🏼
unfortunately I don't own a 2016 merc..I only have the cas u see me work on.. but if u apply the same principle
Great video loved it
Nice work man ...
Always with the right tools nod looks soo easy 👌
very true as long as ur on the ball u can find alternative ways or improvise too.. like that tool I use isn't for that purpose but I used it to help pry the lens apart
nice, eventually i will just replace my headlights but the plug is kinda weird to disconnect. thanks for your videos@
ye might seem weird and hard but its very easy to disconnect you just lift the lever and disconnect i ll show in the next video i release today about replacing ballast
Fantastic video sir…! Thanks for taking the time to make it
welcome
You made it!! Thanks very much!
hope this help u my friend
Hi bro, you know where i get bi xenon projector of c300 4 matic. Coze my projector are broken. Ty
what do u mean the entire headlight
Any idea what temperature you're getting the unit to before you're separating?
No idea i just know about 10 mins to 15 mins will do then u give it a go seperating and if it comes apart easy ur good if not then cpl more mins til its easier
"A box that can be used to evenly heat the entire headlight" - like an oven?
How high of a temperature would be needed to loosen the mastic without damaging the plastic?
My heat gun is almighty 600°f on the lowest setting, so it'll melt plastic if you're not extremely careful.
ye that's why u need to ensure u don't face it directly at the headlight lens and only do it til it starts to seperate ..it's a trial and error thing
Do you have to remove the old glue before replacing the new lens cover
as long as its not dirty and contaminated you can use it again just apply more of the headlight sealant (d-mastic)
thanks for the content
most welcome bud
Hey, do you have a video on how to remove the headlight glass from a mercedes w212 facelifting model?
😊😊😊
no sorry I mainly did w204 and w203 although it would be similar technique . as all headlights are put together with mastic that seals the headlight from moisture and dust etc
THANK YOU SO MUCH 👏👏👏 SUBSCRIBER 4LIFE💯
Can I black out the chrome or would it not be worth it?
ye I've heard ppl do that as well ...if ur into the full black look u can do that
Hello good morning, I'm from Milan Italy 🇮🇹. congratulations for the video. Unfortunately this morning due to snow I broke my only the plastic of the left front light .... Everything else works correctly ..... I ask you for a link where to buy the cover safely. Thanks Fabio.
ebay or aliexpress I'll leave a link for u in my description
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ
a.aliexpress.com/_velcqR
This is correct.?
My front lights are the same.
Thanks.
@@fabiodetailig if that is your style front headligh tthen yes thats the correct lens for your car
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ ok.... Last question.... If possible send you my picture of my w204.?
@@fabiodetailig sure find me on instagram and ill take a look mikeyzvlogz on instagram i use the same logo
Nice video we’re did you purchase the Lens Thanks
. i didnt have to buy the lens i only bought a new backing case the black plastic casing .... but i have seen lenses before for sale on ebay and aliexpress and alibaba ...
Good info, but PLEASE get rid of the too-loud, not good, and extremely distracting music. It makes the video hard to watch for no reason.
noted ... yeah mybad I forgot to test watch it first ... but in future won't happen
its a wonder you didnt black the chrome for that C63 look.
Hello, good content. Does this lens are the same for a c63 amg w204 2011?
no 2011 is facelift ..that has the led strip in the headlight ..mine is 2010 and under called prefacelift..and thanks for saying that
@MIKEYZVLOGZ mine is 2011 and is not facelift. It has been the same since 2007 to 2011.
Or 2008 to 2011
@MIKEYZVLOGZ if is prefacelift c63 amg, will it use the same lens as any w204 before the facelift?
@user-hd6fe3dl7o as long as preface wil be same shape.. but remember there is coupe version and version ith halogen and bixenon version.. depends what packages ur car have
Can this be done on a Facelift model with the Intelligent Xenon model?
yes definitely
Hi Mikeyz, I'm doing the process in a 2020GLE headlight. The problem I'm facing is that the heat gun turns off after 5 minutes and it does not create heat enough. So do you think that id I do on a regular oven can I melt or destroy the lens?
Regards,
an oven won't destroy the lens at all be sure u have a big enuff oven set temperature to about 60 to 100 degress Celsius..I haven't done oven before but ill find out what temp its suppose to be on or u ca google other ppl who have done it and it will give u the temps to use .... I don't want to tell u a setting and it destroys your headlamp... it only goes in for about 15 minutes ..also use a towel so the plastic doesn't touch the grill fins cuz it will melt it ... are u using a heat guy or hair-dryer? why is it turning off? overheat? but I can tell u many ppl do thenoven technique and its fine... so long as u use the right heat setting
Hi Mikeyz, thank you very much for your prompt answer. I'm using a heat gun and I believe that is over heating and shuts-off. I have a big enough oven just curious at what temperature to use. I got the concept of the towel on the oven. I read about 350f. Thanks
yes that's right 300 to 350 f which is about 160 to 180 Celsius
@@cstinchi the heat gun shouldn't turn off at all u saw thats what I use and its the cheapest of the cheap nothing special and although melted my tip of plastic but still fine
you are making great videos
but I don't know what is the use of this horrible music in the back
some times but me out of focus
Ye I was trying to accompany someone else's comment of try using background music ..now I don't use it at all cuz ppl need to hear wat I'm saying to understand
where did you get the tool to pry them apart?
it's actually a carpenter clip pry tool about 15 dollars aud on ebay search for car fender clip pry tool
Is it common for people to refer to bumpers as bars? I've never heard that before I must be out of the loop if it is. Lol
yeah here we say front bar rear bar for rear bumper
What tool is being used to pry the headlights apart?
oh that's actually a trim clip removal tool .. but u don't need it .. u cab just use your bare hands after u have heated up the mastic / headlight sealant enough it will come apart easily
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ thanks so much
@@danielthomas4018 welcome
Is d-mastic called something else? We do not seem to have d-mastic here in California.
search for headlamp sealant
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ perfect my friend, thank you
@@cobblestone977 try BUTYL RUBBER GLUE HEADLIGHT SEALANT
🤙💥🔥💯
Sar tool name please
which tool
Why so high Music 😳
was during wen I was learning bout adding music ..every video should be lower now..apologies
Would be a great video if you didn’t have the music can’t even listen to you while listening to the music
ye only realised after uploading ... my bad .. try with subtitles for parts u can't hear ... in future videos I get rid of music and sometimes don't even use it
Box Not burn ??? Why
cuz ur only heating inside the box not directly to the box and it's heat not actual fire
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ i will do this: ruclips.net/video/u0_h7qvxLfw/видео.htmlsi=Xzc8x05tkYlJyREN
I don't understand what you mean when you say "the front bar"? In either case, this sounds way to complicated. Sounds like it would be better just to take it to a qualified mechanic and have new headlights installed.
front bar is front bumper..short for front bumper bar... if u have the money to spend ..then yea why not take it to mercedes ... but I guess not everyone has that kind of money so this is to try help them diy
