Replacing Bulbs For Front Lamps - Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Operator's Manual

Replacing bulbs for front lamps

Before you start to replace a bulb for a
front lamp, do the following first:
Turn the exterior lamp switch to posi-
tion M ( page 123).
Open the hood ( page 270)
(except for side marker lamps).
1 Bulb socket for turn signal lamp
2 High beam headlamp cover
3 Low beam headlamp cover (Xenon or
Bi-Xenon* lamp). Do not remove.
4 High beam bulbs
5 Locking mechanism
6 Parking and standing lamps
Warning!
Do not remove the cover for the Xenon or
Bi-Xenon* headlamp. Because of high volt-
age in Xenon and Bi-Xenon* lamps, it is dan-
gerous to replace the bulb or repair the lamp
and its components. We recommend that
you have such work done by a qualified
technician.
