Materials Needed:
- Replacement parking light bulb (check your owner's manual for the correct bulb type)
- Phillips head screwdriver
Instructions:
1. Open the Hood:
- Pull the lever under the dashboard on the driver's side to release the hood.
- Go to the front of the car and lift the hood.
- Prop the hood open with the support rod.
2. Locate the Parking Light Assembly:
- The parking light assembly is located inside the headlight housing, next to the main headlight bulb.
3. Remove the Headlight Cover:
- Locate the plastic cover over the headlight assembly.
- Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws holding the cover in place.
- Carefully remove the cover.
4. Access the Parking Light Bulb:
- Once the headlight cover is removed, you will see the parking light bulb.
- It is usually held in place by a spring clip or a twist-lock mechanism.
5. Remove the Old Bulb:
- If there is a spring clip, use a small flat-head screwdriver to pry it open and release the bulb.
- If there is a twist-lock mechanism, turn it counterclockwise to unlock and remove the bulb.
6. Install the New Bulb:
- Insert the new parking light bulb into the socket.
- Secure the bulb by pushing it in and turning it clockwise (if there is a twist-lock mechanism), or by snapping the spring clip back into place.
7. Reinstall the Headlight Cover:
- Place the headlight cover back onto the headlight assembly.
- Insert and tighten the screws to secure the cover.
8. Test the Parking Light:
- Turn on the parking lights and ensure that the new bulb is working properly.
9. Close the Hood:
- Once you have confirmed that the parking light is working, close the hood of your C240.
Repeat the process for the other side if both parking lights need to be replaced. Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific details and instructions.
