Best way to get 6000K bulb into passenger side lowbeam...(why so hard)

The driver side, is simple took 5 minutes to get a new lowbeam in.


How the hell do you get the passenger side in?

You have to mess with the ABS, or remove the bumper? There is no room to get in there with not removing 1 of the 2...or is there??


Anyone have experience getting the lowbeam on the SL55? How do you do it the easiest way possible?


Thanks,

Mike

I tried and tried and tried. It can be done, it is super hard but can without removing anything. (from what people on the forum say) I decided to Take $50 and give it to the MB dealership and they changed them no problem.

I lost! oh well life goes on

I'm sorry I'm no help
