On my 99 E320, there is a little, screw secured hatch beneath the bumper. I had to jack up the car a scootch to get maneuvering room to see how to manipulate the fittings. After the first one, I could change the other one by feel. Total time - about 10 mins or less.

learn early. buy in bulk. you'll be doing it often. you can get away with no jacking if your head is small enough.

good luck , j.

lol, get back to the W211 board! j/k Any impressions on the move to the newer version?

You can get away with doing it by feel, I do it all the time. Or else, put a big mirror on the ground and you should be able to do it - jacking up the car and putting your head underneath is not recommended

Like the guys said, it is pretty easy to change, but since you are changing the bulb you might as well change them with a better bulb like Silver Stars. I changed mine and the light is sharper and pure white. A very nice and cheap upgrade.

Whitey, what kind of bulb does an AMG bumper take? Is it the same for MY 2000? Thanks.

From memory its an H3, the type with a cable attached to it and it goes in vertically (unlike the stock bumper), as you can barely see on my sig pic.
