Headlight Bulb - what's the trick?

I searched and didn't find any answer...sorry if I missed it.

My hands cant reach inside the headlight assembly because of that fill neck on the drivers side, right behind it. How do I change the bulb without taking out the headlight assembly? There's gotta be an easier way.

It's really tight but doable. I changed my D1S lamps recently and while tight, you'll see there's a way to maneuver the lamp in and out without having to force anything. Your hand however will take a few cuts in the process, thank you MB.

This was on an 08 C300 so your clearances many not be the same.
