Well, Can't believe it, The A-class has a fault lol, 1st one since owning it over 6 months and 4,000 miles!

Yep a Bulb lol, Nearside front to be precise.

1, Move the Washer fluid tank back via the Yellow release clip top right looking at the car from the front, then pull the bottle up and to the left.

2, Remove the top 2x 10mm Bolts holding the front plastic wing in place.

3, Remove the 2x 8mm bolts holding the Headlamp in place.

4, Now you can bring the headlamp up and forwards and reach in from behind to remove the Necessary bulbs, After remove the black cover by press the tap and pulling to the right the cap comes free.

5, With a flat blade screwdriver, lever the Sidelight bulb holder up by giving it a quick flick. doesn't take much. DO NOT pull the wires!

6, Pull the bulb from the holder and replace it with the new one.

7, Refit in the reverse order and your done!

No need to try and access the back of the lamp from the wheel arch housing. The above method took no more than 10mins. :) Dam i love this little car haha
