How to Change the Lights in a Mercedes E500


1. Pop the hood of your vehicle. Clasp the connector clips, and remove the headlight connector from the back of the headlight.
2. Remove the particle slip -- a protective cover used to prevent dust from entering into the headlight housing -- by pulling up and out on the lip of the slip.
3. Remove the old headlight. Hold the bottom of the headlight, and turn the light counterclockwise. Pull the light up and out and set it aside.
4. Place the new light in and turn it clockwise to secure it in place. Snap the particle slip back in place. Hook the connectors back onto the headlights.
