Thanks guys!!!!! I just replaced my bulb on the drivers side and I’m a 60 year-old woman. You saved me a lot of money. One think I used is a very thin piece of rubber - the kind you have to help open jars in your kitchen - and that helped a lot with being able to grip and turn it to get it back in place. You guys are the best!!
It is comforting to know that for a lady this video is useful and these testimonies give great hope and a new meaning to the usefulness of the Internet. This is what it was really created for 🙏🥰
Thanks for tips. Took me a long time to replace bulbs as I am no mechanic. My bulb blew on left side / hard side. I had trouble getting my arm behind the lamp unit and getting my hand in right position to release bulb holder from lamp. One tip I wanted to share is to use your left arm and face rear of vehicle. Only then could I exert right twist to release the bulb holder. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the explanation. Still took me a long time to replace the headlight bulb about 1 and a half hours because the bulb has to be inserted the right way round (only one way is right) and then the assembly also has to be inserted the right way round out of 2 possibilities.
3 years late comment. I think it is intentional design for Mbenz to make it difficult. They want you to take it to the dealer so they can charge $ 100 to replace.
To replace the headlight bulb on the right hand side, looking at the car from the front, just remove the overflow water tank. Undo the screen to the rear of it, and it lifts out of it two push-in holes below. Just move it to the left. Before doing this, in my '09 E350 Sport, I first remove the air intake section. These two things take a few minutes but allow your whole arm and hand to get to the bulb at a good angle. The left hand side shown in the video is actually the hard of other two, as there is nothing to remove to aid access. FYI.
@@dextercannon5299My recollection is undo was counter-clockwise. My recall may be inaccurate, but I do recall once it got past the initial resistance it turned easily. Hope that helps.
Sure glad you made this video! Never changed it before and I thought the wiring clip in the back actually detached a different way and that Mercedes had made it almost impossible to diy! haha lol Thanks
Marcus lol ! That's the best. But at least it was a quick overview of how to turn the outer cover and the bulb socket assembly. Pain to get it fit back in for me.
I think you may have missed an important point. If you TOUCH the bulb you should wipe it with alcohol because the natural oils from your fingers will shorten the life of the bulb, or wear gloves to eliminate that problem. If you are competent enough and don't touch the bulb you don't need to do neither.
thank You for the great info. BUT I saw something that don't look right. THERE IS no insulation around the wires close to the socket. is that normal. The wires are bear for like 3 inches from the socket, can heat burn them away?
I tried following the repair guide, but my passenger side (right side) low beam bulb wont turn in the assembly to be removed! I tried on the driver side and it seems to be working perfectly, however that's not the bulb I need to replace at the moment, any clues as to what's happening or how I can get this bulb to turn so I can replace it?
Hi,I would like to know how I have to do to remove dislodging optical left side (driver) because I have my xenon bulb that is grilled and I have to change it I have difficulty how to extract bulb and optics because the ballast is stuck under the optics (do you have a video to better understand how to do it) thank you
I have a 2002 Mercedes Benz E320 and when I turn on my headlights my right high beam light comes on but when I switch on high beam they both comes on like they supposed to could someone tell me what is wrong
Are you kidding me? This is the hardest thing to do on my 2008 e350, it took me 3 hours to do this!! How much will the independent shop charge to do this?
I had to replace that side first, it still sucks but there are a couple things you can do to make more room. Basically there is a fluid tank that can be moved out of the way, just take out the screw holding it in place (mine was a crappy plastic screw that broke, so I zip tied the tank back when I was done). 2nd thing is the fat intake hosing going from the grille to the engine can be removed/reattached by hand, no tools needed.
on my wife's car the high-beam is off of the park-light bulb. If there is only one bulb out on your car - you can verify where the high-beam bulb is by checking the "good" side.
Guys i really got pissed off by this, was in the workshop were an idiot was trying all the wrong things to replace this bulb. Why didnt u mention the black frame and how to unlock it in this fking vid man could have saved me an hour standing... !!!!
Yes - even the car manual did not make this obvious. Forcing the socket counter-clockwise would not free the bulb, you have to turn the frame around the socket counter-clockwise. Not obvious - since one is working in a "blind" space.
The oils from your skin gets on the glass and oil retains heat which causes the bulb to operate very hot -- it then fails much quicker from excessive operating temperatures. Never heard of the salt theory before. edit: I guess it is also the salt which can chemically weaken the quartz glass too! Good to know.

Omg. I went to oreillys for new bulb for 2007 e350, the guy was like yeah, you have to take the bumper off to replace, I had one. He lied. So easy

Wasup ma, u need a man to change ur light bulbs this year?
I use my hands to open jars
My jars open themselves when they see me coming

THANKS IW AS ABLE TO REPLACE BOTH BULBS WITHIN 30 MINS. SUFFERED ABOUT 9 CUTS AND SCRATCHES IN THE PROCESS.

Thanks a lot. Seriously. I seen other videos made it seem way harder than it really is. Thanks again really helped.
Very simple and very helpful. Thank you. Can you make a video also about how to clean the fog stain from headlights
That would be amazing! They might have done one so I’ll look but it’s driving me crazy at the moment.
WD40..
just remember to plug the bulb into the outlet, the same exact way you unplug it... there are little tabs that mark it
Why is this the most impossible low beam bulb replacement in the world
Tell me about it, I have big hands , it`s almost impossible
Loads of Audi's and VW's that you have to take the front off to have enough room, this is extremely spacious in comparison.
It was pretty easy

Although accented in English, this video showed very clearly how it is done changing the light bulb
Good video.
I changed mine today. Mine was the driver side and to be a little easier I moved to the side the coolant expansion tank.
Thanks to your help and some rubber gloves from my wife, it took under 2 minutes to change the bulb -
Thanks, still needed this in 2024, it's always equally annoying task😅
Nice job guys. Helped a lot.
Súper bueno, yo lo hice con mi auto y no soy mecánico ni electricista,
Thanks a lot buddy
Is this martenitsa guys? Great videos, thank you!

Thank you thank you 😊
God bless you 😊
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Great job guys.
Yet again another vehicle and u come through I hope success for you
“Make sure to wear gloves or wipe it with alcohol.” Does neither.
have a clean cloth, I might be wrong but thats worked for me

THERE IS no insulation around the wires close to the socket. is that normal.
The wires are bear for like 3 inches from the socket, can heat burn them away?
anyway I was very carefull to seperate the wires,
She drove off with all good but I think the heat is
destroying the wires insulation...
Hi. can you help me know how to replace the parking bulb? thank you so much

Имам едно чувство че сте българи? Този акцент и мартеницата на ръката направо крещят ние сме от България.
П.С: Благодаря за полезното видео :)
I see you chose the easy side.
curiel101 same thing i said everyone is using the easy side
curiel101 yup
left side is easy if you remove the left air intake and move the radiator fill tank out of the way.
He said that in the video.
Lucky mine is the easy side this time. Thanks
Thank you I learn a lot !
Before putting everything back together, check to see if the bulb works!
I’m guessing this is the same procedure for 2006 E55 AMG?
let me know if u find out, i have an 05 E55, do you know if urs is bixenon?
@@user-bi5cj2ev3e Yeah they’re the bi-xenon ones.
Flash light rip lol. Good video very useful
This Really Helped‼️💪

Hi , and other side lamp please??

You guys get stick but you're great for me. Thanks!!
Hey guys, on my e320 2005, I recently received this message "active hdlmp currently unavailable" can you please help me find out how to fix it. Thanks
Why do the easy side and not the hard side
the left bulb is obscured by coolant reservoir,,, how do we deal with
left bulb replacement?
Have to take out coolant box
That’s the easy side show the driver side in another video I don’t know if you have another video showing how to do it, thanks.

Thanks for help
I changed mine but still will not come on. I checked fuses and all is good. Any ideas
Which fuse number is it?
How to replace the deambulb
For some reason the h7 bulb will not fit into the bracket
Thanks, easy job.
Thanks guys,he made it so easy for me:-)
My light works intermittently. Maybe loose?
Like yo mama!
What about other side
Does the guy doing this ever cut his fingernails or just let them fall off naturally? Just saying
im replacing both mine tomorrow not looking forward to it with my hamfisted big hands lol
managed it and only cut myself once and swore twice
So both the Low beam and High beam both use H7 or what?
on my wife's car the high-beam is off of the park-light bulb. If there is only one bulb out on your car - you can verify where the high-beam bulb is by checking the "good" side.
Mercedes had this figured out to perfection with the 202 and 210, and then introduced shit that almost requires ballerina hands
Thanks Chrysler era Benz... 😂
This is not the same as I have on my 2005 E320 4matic
is it a H3?
H7
Include paid promotion.. But still got advertisement
Guys i really got pissed off by this, was in the workshop were an idiot was trying all the wrong things to replace this bulb. Why didnt u mention the black frame and how to unlock it in this fking vid man could have saved me an hour standing... !!!!
YOU JUST PULL IT OUT....LOL

Yeah i didn't wrong. I'd bend the metal on the bottom of the bulb. 🤦♂️
man these mercs are terrible, but makes for many many videos!!
ThisISETHANBRADBERRY! Yea, what a piece of shit for needing a new headlight.
Are you insane? They're some of the most reliable cars ever made lol

THE SALT on the fingers make the bulb BURN.....

Mercedes really came up with some bullsheet on this!
Put on it xenon or led 😉
