Headlight assembly removal instruction

Does anyone have a set of instructions as to how to remove my front right headlight assembly? My wife bumped into something the other week, and it cracked the top ear of the headlight housing, and I would like to completely remove and fix it if possible. I tried to eyeball it last night, but everything is packed so tight under the hood I couldnt see where all the mounting points were.

Thanks!

Yup, there was a recent DIY thread where they replaced it because adaptive highbeam assist wasn't working and the bulb was going out.

I think the instructions for the bumper are similar to the C class. Plenty of videos for that model online.

Thanks guys! I searched again for adaptive highbeam assist, and found the thread with the removal instructions.

I cant wait to remove the grill, bumper, and inner fender cover just to get to the headlight
