Replacing Headlight??
OKay guys How hard is it to replace the whole headlight assembly. Mercedes quoted me $270, and $300 for the damn labor. No way IN hell Am i paying that.
So is it easy to do it?
How time consuming is it?

You do need to at least loosen the bumper cover up enough to gain access to the headlight - whether you want to remove it completely is up to you. It's not difficult to do, but does take some time. The overall operation should take no longer than 2 hours - from disassembly to reassembly. I've seen headlights on eBay in the past for much less.......
