I'm not sure if I'm posting on here correctly, but I have a 2011 GLK350 4matic and I need to change the parking light on the driver side. My vehicle is equipped with the halogens. I can see the bulb, but I dont know if I use pliers to grasp the bulb holder to pull the bulb and holder out? Does it twist to come out? I can see by gently moving the two wires connected to the back that the bulb moves, I just didnt want to yank on anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I've owned numerous Mercedes through the years. All I've ever seen is a twist out bulb housing and then a removable bulb. These types of things are usually covered in the owners manual if you have one. YouTube is also a great resource.
You have to push down on the yellow tab right below the housing. See the pic I attached.
Use your finger first, you can feel it push down. I use a long pair of needle nose pliers and push half right below the housing so it pushes the yellow tab down, then the top of the pliers goes over the housing. That way you grip the top and bottom of the bulb housing, plus get the tab pushed down. Just pull straight out at that point. It's pretty easy once you've done it a couple of times.
The drivers side is a bit harder because the windshield wiper fluid fill tube is in the way. I just unhook the one clip at the top and push it aside. The forcep style needle nose work best. Harbor Freight sells them or Amazon I'm sure.
