Practical hints
Replacing bulbs
Notes on bulb replacement
ț Only use 12 volt bulbs of the same type
and with the specified watt rating.
ț Switch lights off before changing a bulb
to prevent short circuits.
ț Always use a clean lint-free cloth when
handling bulbs.
ț Your hands should be dry and free of oil
and grease.
ț If the newly installed bulb does not light
up, visit an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
Have the LEDs and bulbs for the following
lamps replaced by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center:
ț Additional turn signals in the exterior
rear view mirrors
ț High mounted brake lamp
ț Bi-Xenon* lamps
ț Front fog lamps
ț Rear lamps (except license plate
lamps)
ț Front side marker lamps
Warning!
G
Bulbs and bulb sockets can be very hot. Al-
low the lamp to cool down before changing
a bulb.
Keep bulbs out of reach of children.
Halogen lamps contain pressurized gas.
A bulb can explode if you:
ț touch or move it when hot
ț drop the bulb
ț scratch the bulb
Wear eye and hand protection.
Because of high voltage in Bi-Xenon* lamps,
it is dangerous to replace the bulb or repair
the lamp and its components. We recom-
mend that you have such work done by a
qualified technician.

Have the headlamp adjustment
checked regularly.
