Replacing bulbs
Notes on bulb replacement
Only use 12 volt bulbs of the same type 
and with the specified watt rating. 
Switch lights off before changing a bulb 
to prevent short circuits. 
Always use a clean lint-free cloth when 
handling bulbs. 
Your hands should be dry and free of oil 
and grease.
If the newly installed bulb does not 
come on, visit an authorized 
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Have the LEDs and bulbs for the following 
lamps replaced at an authorized 
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Additional turn signal lamps in the exte-
rior rear view mirrors
High mounted brake lamp
Bi-Xenon* lamps
Front fog lamps
Front side marker lamps
License plate lamps
Replacing bulbs for front lamps
Before you start to replace a bulb for a 
front lamp, do the following first:
Turn the exterior lamp switch to 
position
M (
Open the hood (
Warning!
G
Keep bulbs out of reach of children.
Bulbs and bulb sockets can be very hot. Al-
low the lamp to cool down before changing 
a bulb.
Halogen lamps contain pressurized gas. A 
bulb can explode if you:
touch or move it when hot
drop the bulb
scratch the bulb
Wear eye and hand protection.
Because of high voltage in Xenon lamps, it is 
dangerous to replace the bulb or repair the 
lamp and its components. We recommend 
that you have such work done by a qualified 
technician.
!
Do not replace the LEDs yourself. You could 
otherwise damage the LEDs or parts of the 
vehicle. Only have the LEDs replaced at an au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
