1. Access the Headlight Assembly:
- Open the hood of your Mercedes C240.
- Locate the headlight assembly on the side where you need to replace the bulb.
2. Remove Headlight Cover:
- There might be a plastic cover over the headlight assembly. Gently remove the cover by pushing the release tabs or unscrewing the retaining screws.
3. Locate Retainer Springs:
- Once the cover is removed, you should see the headlight bulb held in place by 2 retainer springs. These springs are usually located on the sides of the bulb housing.
4. Unclip Retainer Springs:
- Gently push down on the center of one of the retainer springs using your finger or a small flat-head screwdriver.
- As you press down, use your other hand to pry the retainer spring outward.
- Repeat the same process for the other retainer spring.
5. Remove Retainer Clips:
- Once the retainer springs are pushed down, you should be able to remove the retainer clips that are holding the bulb in place.
- Simply lift or slide the clips out of their slots.
6. Remove the Bulb:
- Now that the retainer springs and clips are out of the way, you can remove the old bulb by pulling it straight out of its socket.
That's it! Unclipping the retainer springs on the headlight bulb of a 2003 Mercedes C240 is a straightforward process that shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
