how to replace front turn signal on c250

I want to replace my turn signal bulbs, I can't figure out where the turn signal socket pops out. I don't have the lighting package so I know it is a bulb not leds. It is all the way on the bottom. I attached a picture of the headlight I have. If anybody has changed the bulbs let me know. Thanks

well since nobody helped out I figured it out myself. you either have to take off the bumper or the headlight. you need a star allen key and there are two bolts you have to take off I pointed them out in the picture. take those out then the turn signal bulb is inside there.

That's great that it was replaceable. I had been told that if turn signals need to be replaced, you must order new light unit.

there really isn't Seba. I tried and it is in a very difficult place. I don't have the lighting package so my turn signal is just a bulb. If your turn signal is led you have to replace the whole headlight if it goes out.

Question: Did you turn signal bulb in your 2012 MB already burn out? I'm assuming yes, or you wouldn't need to replace it. Hopefully that would be covered under warranty. I have the exact same headlights (no lighting package) as you.
