help changing low-beam bulb

I am having trouble taking out the burnt bulb. I was wondering if anyone knows how to take it out. The manual says press backward but what does that mean? pushing it in and turn? or something else? If someone can give me a better way to remove the bulb that would be great!

had the same problem just push on the back of the housing and turn, then it will slide right out.

hi, i had a hard time with this as well.
it's kind of hard to do it without removing the headlights if you're not sure what you are doing.
there are two clips that hold the hid bulb in place. if you unclip the two clips, the bulb will come out. however, it would be difficult trying to put it back in. as the same way you took it out, you have to put it back in, but there are times when the bulb may sit crooked so you have to make sure it's straight.

replacing CLK 63 500 headlight halogen bulb

This is the easiest way.

***Make sure you dont touch the bulbs getting any type of grease or fingerprints on it or it will short the life span of the bulb.***

Get two flat head screw drivers place them on both sides of the clips prying them both open gently at the same time and put up firmly both metal assembly and light bulb at the same time. It will come out the socket.

To put the pieces back together... the easiest way is to put the assembly clip back on first and then insert the bulb into the socket. This is not difficut. Just that simple.

*I didnt have to turn anything, no mirror needed in my experience.
