Spyder headlight eyebrow bulb replacement anyone?
Does anyone know if the eyebrow bulbs for the W204 Spyder headlights can be replaced without taking the headlight assembly off of the car completely? I don't want to have to disassemble my car just for a simple bulb replacement, but I can't see any way to get to the eyebrow bulbs. They are just too out of reach.

Thanks for any pointers!

-Rod

you don't have to disassemble the whole headlight to get to the brow bulbs on SPYDER headlights. Having needle nose pliers will help.

Thanks Michael. I tried with needle nose pliers but found no way to get them in there for the outer bulbs, since the top of the headlight casing is blocking the way. Maybe I need to get some sort of curved pliers to be able to reach.

angled needle nose pliers should do the trick.
