2003 S500 Bumper light replacement

I purchased a pair of clear bumper lenses for my S500 and I am not sure how to go about installing them, has anyone out there done this and if so, can you give me some tips so I do not mess something up, thanks.

It's very easy. I wrapped a knife blade in cloth, inserted it under the forward lip of the lens (toward the front bumper), and pried outward from the body, gently. It popped right out. Using the cloth was probably overkill - trying different bulbs, I just used the thin knife blade carefully.

Keeping your bulbs legal will be the next thing. See posts 42 and 44 at https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...25#post1632025

I simply used a very small flat head screw driver wrap in a terry cloth to pop mine out. Very simple.
