DRL Change

Gents,
Is it possible to change the Day Running Lights without removing the bumper?
If I remove the front carbon effect plate and the small grill below the light will I be able to pull the DRL through that gap and replace it with the new ones I've bought
If so does anyone know of a video that shows how to

What's wrong with the ones on the vehicle now?

I few bulbs on the left hand side light have stopped working after hitting a kerb at speed. I sorted out the alloy but still need to do the DRL

OK understood and makes sense, even if it's bizarre that the bulbs stopped working after hitting a curb. BTW did you check your alignment after?

Perhaps this will help, ii's a thread with a DIY I found further down the page: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...ng-bumper.html

So I checked on the WIS to see the install instructions for the DRL, it shows to remove the front bumper. This might help on how to get started with the bumper https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...ml#post6376102.

Might help also https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...er_Removal.htm

You can pull them out the front without removing the bumper. There was a post from a few years back about it with details that was just bumped a week or two ago. I’m not going to do the work for you, but a quick search should yield the result. It’s easy.
