W220 S class - Changing headlight bulbs?

[W4SIM]

Hello all

Wanted to change the front side lights of my car to something white and LED as opposed to the normal yellow crap iv got, which doesnt go well next to the xenons, but iv found that the space back there is particularly tight. Well on my car it is anyway.

So just wanted to know if i could take any of the nuts/bolts out to remove the headlight slightly forward or remove something from behind to get a bit more space, or will i just have to scrape the skin off my hands and polish up on my french at the same time???

Thanks.

You can see the top 2 8mm bolts on the top of the lamp, but there is another on the bottom side of the lamp concealed by the bumper.
If you undo the top two you may get a little more space, but if you try and move it too much you could break the other mounting.

Personally i'd just battle on through, I'd rather have a cut or two...

Il remove the top 2 and see how much space i can get, if any, if not then i suppose a "Swear Jar" will come in handy.
