Help!!! Need to replace headlight bulb.
Hi, How easy to replace the bulb on 2010 c63 amg headlight? Do i need to remove the whole headlight assembly? Thanks. Picture for attention. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...a590c32ea.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...dad3ace39.jpeg |
You say 2010 but thats definitely a 2012+ you posted
Very easy either way, there is an access port on the back of the headlight in the engine bay. Big port is for low beam, small for high iirc |

A YouTube video will help you
Search on there for this car |
Drop the bumper and remove the headlight.
You will save yourself alot of headache and working in all sorts of unusual positions. |
Don’t listen to that ^ please. Drop the bumper to change a bulb that’s only 5min per side just reaching in there. Get the **** out of here with that stupid idea. :crazy: Go look on YouTube. It’s literally 1) reach in and remove the rear dust cover, 2) remove bulb, 3) install new bulb, 4) reinstall dust cover, 5) repeat for other side. Yes, the retaining clip for the bulb can be a pain in the azz, but just look up how it works. It’s not hard. |

Removing the front bumper took 12 minutes and re-attaching it was just the same. Not everyone is a perfect garage whiz like you and some people have chronic pain that cannot work in unusual positions for periods of time. Not being rude, just thought I'd point that out. |
You DEFINITELY should NOT remove the front bumper for the headlight bulbs.
Literally one of the MOST BASIC car things you can do is change bulbs. No need to make it complicated. Everything BLKROKT said is exactly what they need to do. Considering he's asking to change a bulb, removing a whole bumper will probably be hell for him anyways. |
DROP THE BUMPER?! Crazy. No lights on the front necessitate a bumper drop. The fog lights on the PFL cars almost make me want to but for those I’d rather take off the undertray. |

I struggled for an hour hunched over front and the fender of the car trying to line that stupid clip up. Mind you I have back problems.

Good points. Didn’t mean to offend. I think I just had flashbacks of the last time I removed my front bumper, which is definitely not at all easy anymore. |

Maybe it's the way I'm built, but I cannot for the life of me, get those damn clips aligned properly. I will only pursue something so far until I decide it's time for another course of action... Maybe *dropping the bumper* is extreme but I needed a solution!!! :D I'll leave it up to the OP to decide what to do!. Good luck!
