CL500 (W215) Change front fog lamp bulb?

[greekCL]

Hello guys,

Does anyone know how to change the front fog lamp? Is it that hard?

Do you want to change the unit or the bulb?

Using the jack from the tool kit, handbrake on.
Raise the vehicle to the stage where the wheel is about to leave the floor (ideally place an axle stang under for safety)
There should be a flap in the front corner on the underside of the vehicle - pop the flap down and look in it is self explanetry to change.

If its the lamp unit your going to need to pop the front grill out - it just clips out quite easily ( mine got knicked off my cl600 recentley) and it just bolts out and in

Whenever changing any parts always look at the new unit to see where the mounts and srews are etc.

I need to change the bulb only.

Well I need to glue the glass as well ... as it is broken I think if I remove the unit it will be done properly. (glue it and silicon it)

I was coming back from Devon yesterday... I was driving in huge amounts of rain, I suppose loads of water went in and burned the bulb.

the bulb only. But it would be nice to remove the whole lot to fix it... sounds simple

Its easy to change but sounds to me like you need a new lamp for about around £70 you 'll have trouble repairing the glass.
