Headlamp bulb and air filter help
I have an 06 cls500. I just had a run in with a tree on the road. Pine needles everywhere, inside and outside the car. Anyhow, I'm concerned there's a bunch of needles in the air filter. How do you take the cover off to check the filters? Are they just held in by clips and do I need to take the whole cover off covering the engine also?
Also, the driver's side low beam (halogen) went out. I'm having trouble accessing the cover since the coolant tank is in the way. What would I need to do to change that bulb? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Not too sure about the air filter, but I have had the complete right headlight unit replace twice!!! Let me ask you this, do you have the Xenon headlights??? If so, if your cluster says low beam out or unavailable, its more than a bulb, and more complex then a regular headlight. I had my CLS in the shop for a week and had a Ford Taurus
in replacement, hahaha!!!! It ended up being a modulator that was faulty and was replaced under warrenty, it got so bad it began to flicker violently behind a cop
! But yea, with xenon's its more advance than a trip to Kragens for a bulb, its a trip to the good ole benz dealership for you and your baby!!!!
