Removing
– Release bulb carrier -1- in -direction of arrow A-.
– Pull bulb carrier -1- with front left turn signal bulb - M5- out of
mounting on headlight.
– Push front left turn signal bulb - M5- -2- slightly into bulb carrier
-1- and, at the same time, turn it to stop in
-direction of arrow B-. Then, pull it out of bulb carrier.
Installing
Install in the reverse order of removal, observing the following:
Caution
Risk of damage to the headlight.
♦ Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with bare fingers.
Fingers leave traces of grease on the glass bulb, which
evaporate when the bulb is switched on and cause the
glass bulb to cloud over.
♦ Wear e.g. clean fabric gloves when inserting bulbs.
♦ Make sure the housing cover is correctly seated when in‐
stalling. The ingress of water will cause permanent dam‐
age to the headlight.
– Perform functional check.
– Check headlight setting and adjust headlight if necessary
⇒ Maintenance ; Booklet 40.1 ; Descriptions of work

Removing and installing front turn signal
bulb -M5- / -M7- , LED headlights

Converting headlights from driving on
right to driving on left
1.7.1
Changing headlights over from driving
on right to driving on left (dual halogen
headlights)
If an RHD vehicle is driven in a left-traffic country, or vice versa,
the headlights do not need to be adapted in any way.
1.7.2
Converting headlights from driving on
right to driving on left, LED headlights
If a right-hand drive vehicle is driven in a left-hand drive country,
or vice versa, the headlights must be converted. This is necessary
in order to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic with the asymmetric
low beam headlights.
Note
♦ The conversion from driving on left to driving on right, or vice
versa, is performed by means of the infotainment system.
♦ It is only permissible to make use of the headlight converter
for a short period of time. When permanently driving in the
respective country during a longer period of time, suitable
headlights need to be installed according to valid specifica‐
tions.
– On the display unit for front information display and operating
unit control unit - J685- , press button CAR .
– Press function buttons Setup and Light .
– Perform adjustment in menu “Light Settings”.
