DIY for grill and/or headlights

:I searched but did not find anything:

I do not own a MB, but i am trying to help out a friend who does, so I am looking for a DIY for headlight removal/install and Grill removal/install for a 2003 E500.

Can anyone tell me how to do it or point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

The grill is really straight forward. Lift up the hood and look to the back of the grill, you'll see some screws. Take them out. Viola.

grill and/or headlights - I use WIS

For all my home repairs I bought on ebay:
- WIS (tech documentation on your car) on 2 DVDs
- CarSoft 7.4

WIS has detailed instructions how to replace any part of MB, including retrofits.

Sorry, I can't share these DVDs - my DSL on uplink is too slow (256k).

you have to remove the front bumper to remove the headlight. not too hard, but a lot of screws and clips. here's a link on how to do it : http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w211...nt-bumper.html
