REMOVER DRIVER SIDE FRONT BUMPER SUPPORT 13mm NUT
BECAREFULL NOT TO LET THE NUT DROP INSIDE. HAVE A MAGNET HANDY JUST INCASE. ONLY THE NUT COME OFF, THE BOLT IS CONNECTED TO THE BUMPER COVER AND IT GOES THROUGH THE METAL BUMPER SUPPORT. IT ALSO USE TO ALIGN THE BUMPER WHEN REINSTALLING IT.

Nice DIY Peter. Its the exact same procedure on my E430 except the sliders I had to push forward towards the headlight to release and I was able to do the job without removing the wheels. Glad I didn't because my 4 piston 355mm Brembos don't look quite as sweet as your 6 pistons and I'd probably get jealous.

Thanks for posting the DIY. You helped me out.

You are right, the slider need to be pushed forward. I was writing the prcedure by memory. The reason I remove the wheels is it much easier to access the bolts and nuts without having to start the engine to turn the wheel. I try it once with the wheel on and it take me longer since there very limited room between the wheel well and tires.

I'm finally going to do a attempt to change my stock lights to the clear glass projectors i bought this spring

Yes you have to..Really bad design..suck!

On the 2000+ facelift models, you have to remove it. On the pre-facelift, no.

where is this bolt ?

This was SO HELPFUL to me and the hubby. Saved us $130 bucks. He was able to loosen the cover with the instructions, slide the old unit out and put the new one in. If we had found these instructions earlier, it would have saved us some labor time! Got my Headlight assembly off of Ebay - brand new assembly with bulbs- $220.00

Well, why would I think a W210 would be like a W211? ... mainly because I'm so new to this that I thought (hoped?) there might be some similarity. Your reply was very helpful to me and I thank you very, very much! best regards, Harry
