It's easy - after you twist off the plastic door that seals it in the housing, you just pull/twist the wire to disconnect the power, and then you need to undo a metal retaining clip that circles around the perimeter of the bulb. Use a flashlight to see how to undo the clip - it's easy to do but much easier if you can see things and you'll avoid bending it by accident. It should be a 5 min job - just make sure not to touch the bulbs with your hands.

well from researching and trying to figure why my bulb could not be pulled out it was the wrong bulb.

In my Manual it says D2s. But its really Ds1 With integrated igniter .Pictured GUess The 06 clk 500 have D1s's now.


And on top of that i cannot find a D1s higher than 4500K.


Anyone know Where i can get a Higher Kelvin D1s?
