How to replace D1S light bulb on W204 with ILS
I have a 2013 C 250 CDI with ILS lights.
I just bought a new set of Osram D1S lights but I cannot manage to get the old bulb out.
How do you remove this?

Thank you.
You were correct.
It was just so tight that I was too scared to twist it with enough power.
Surprisingly there was no plastic ring around the bulb as I have seen on other twisting types. Just a metallic bulb against metal edge of lamp.

Yeah haha I was used to D2S bulbs before I had my car so I ran into the same issue. I should also mention that the pins in the connector can be bent easily, not the wire itself, so use care when removing/installing. Otherwise it's pretty straightforward. Glad you got it figured out!
