W204 Headlamp Removal DIY (Abridged

Hey Modders!
It's been a while since any new videos, but I thought I'd edit a reupload one of my current videos. The original seemed way too long and there were people complaining about the overpowered music volume. So here it is! A short, 5-minute DIY without music to block out any narration!
Thanks to all my subscribers and for those who are not yet sub'd, SUBCRIBE!!!
Happy Modding!!!
=================
This is a tutorial on the removal of the headlamps on the W204. I have the standard headlamps without the Bi-Xenon package, so I won't know for sure how this tutorial will hold up for those that do have Bi-Xenon headlamps. Nevertheless, good luck in your mods, and I hope that this video will help!
Check out some of the stuff I've done with my car and some clients!

I'm on the forums @ MBWorld.org too!

The best explained and demonstrated for headlight removal on KZbin.

Best video! I watched many, but this is the best explaining video

[@mikonuj]

Thanks! I'm embarrassed of how silly I used to look, but I'm glad it still helps haha

[@inityo]

@@mikonuj you look great! 2013/2014 seems like yesterday but now it's soo long ago :(

[@ScottElliott152]

A well explained video. I have the Bi Xenon and the process is the same other than you have to disconnect the water feed line to the headlight washer pipe.

[@KR-fb1xp]

Thanks! I just got a new set of DEPO led projector lamps for my '12 C250 and this is all I need to know. I'll even paint the front grill while I have it off. Thanks duder

[@jkestane2367]

Thanks for you help, was able to change the ballast with your instructions.

[@jameswalker5396]

Awesome, you made the job really simple. Thank you for the video

[@wacofives5094]

BEST REMOVAL VIDEO/INSTRUCTION!!! THANKS

[@muevale]

Excellent video and instructions. Thanks.

[@crm9274]

Excellent tutorial. Really made it easy for me

[@richardmitchell6092]

Thank you for the fast class. I have a c-300 w204. Thanks a lot. I like the comment about needing the partner.

[@elvisnarcisomedina9298]

I've seen engine swaps that are easier!

[@septimoize]

😂

[@trevorrodrigues7140]

Great vid

[@Manbeast222]

Will this tutorial be useful for a 2012 C300 w204? Wondering if the assembly has changed much between the 08-11 and 12-14 models. Nice vid btw!

[@travr1131]

Thank you! I have a 2011 C63 AMG, non-bi xenon and the procedure was pretty much the same. You saved me a bunch of time! Hope some good Karma is coming your way!

[@HugenLong]

Thanks man

[@bakermokdad8957]

Thank you

[@iamgadgetman]

Thanks for this tutorial. I have 2013 C250 sport coupe and these instructions matched almost exactly. I had trouble with the grill since mine has a mesh in it. Basically I had to punch the grill inward to make the clips pop. Scary, but it worked. Have you ever removed the rear bumper? I want to add parking sensors, but have not found any instructions on how to remove the bumper. Either way,, thanks!!!!!

[@mikonuj]

iamgadgetman gonna be doing a wrap soon so I'll likely post something when I do

[@ronnieteeril3090]

@@mikonuj 3 yrs later I guess that wrap never happened

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

For anyone who thinks this is difficult or excessive as many have pointed out here, I'm assuming you've never owned a car newer than 1983. Most modern cars require removal of front bumper just to change BULBS let alone the entire assembly.

[@xGrygoorx]

Hi are those headlights oem black or You painted them inside?

[@TREVDAMAN1]

Anyone else having issues disconnecting the headlights? The plastic tabs on the back will not come out and whenever you apply pressure tiny plastic pieces come off like it’s breaking apart

[@johnnyp7238]

Wow, mercedez really wants that service business lol. Older models were not this difficult just for a headlamp change. You pretty much have to take almost whole car apart

[@kfyhr123456789]

Are there any different between a2048203639 and a2048205659(w204 w204 facelift HID Intelligent light system)?THX

[@zackfair1473]

Hey, So i'm planning to buy a preowned 2016 C300 but it doesn't come with LED headlamp so i'm planning to buy headlamp separately and install it myself do you think its a good idea? ( i was only in love with the design because of the headlamp)

[@mikonuj]

Check to see if your headlamp harness has all the necessary wiring. I currently have a 2013 W204, and it came with halogen lights. I was planning to buy OEM Bi-Xenons but realized my headlight harness is actually missing the wires for adaptive lighting motors. Otherwise, if you still want to install them, it'll be one hell of a retrofit project. Good luck!

[@zackfair1473]

so basically you know how C300 2015- 16 - 17 all have the upgraded LED headlight option? but these C300s I'm planning to get all have regular headlight, but I notice they sell the Upgraded LED headlight online, exact same kind, so you think its good to just get it and mod it myself if i can't find a C300 with the headlight?

[@codyprechel622]

Are there any different between a 204 820 32 39 and a 204 820 47 39, to switch on my 2009 c300

[@bronxmade79]

Shit Man. I need to change the side marker on the bumper and install hids. You should do a new video! Thanks!!

[@tailai168]

Hi ; Can You Show Me How to hook up LED DAYTIME RUNNING to the front turn signal light FOR Mercedes Benz C350 2008 ? ( How to hook up a wire to the front turn signal) ? Thanks

[@michaelburch5594]

Did you paint the housing?

[@Matt-ux5pc]

By the way what merc is that with white engine cover or did you install that?

[@ixT0PSH0TZxi]

Matt ? That’s something you’d probably have to install, you can probably find it on eBay. I can’t imagine it being more than $20 (at least i hope it isn’t). But any extra little mods like that you can always find on eBay (I bought some).

[@MsDJBronius]

fuck this im going to have the longest weekend taking that shitty headlight off, thanks for the demo

[@BerserkNBA]

MsDJBronius not that long bro

[@NichoTBE]

WHY do they make it so annoying... its just a light, why do u have to dismantle half of the front end.

[@AnaniLoveTarot]

NichoTBE right

[@TS3958]

I had to take a Xanax like 1/2 way in

[@raytorres6001]

So does the Bumber have to come off just to change the headlight? I called Mercedes and they charge $180 for the bumper on and $375 for the bumper off plus another 494 for one headlight assembly

[@OfficialAzor]

You can do this yourself and save some money.

[@dorian122]

How do you unplug the cable?

[@mitchio83]

Headlights have gotten so big.. i remember old headlights used to be like the size of a shoe.

[@graydonking7727]

Did you paint your engine cover? Or get it wrapped? How much did it cost?

[@mikonuj]

Painted it at home. Took about $20 worth of Krylon, and an afternoon.

[@graydonking7727]

mikonuj any way you could send me a step by step how you did it? And what colors? Unless it’s just plain white and black (don’t look at krylon colors often lol) will that paint withstand the heat the engine puts out?

[@sebsebseb1905]

Can someone PLEASE tell me what that torx is for, the one with the shortest screw and if it for the adjustment up/down of the headlamp do I need to loosen the screws before I adjust?

[@mikonuj]

It's for headlight alignment. You don't have to, but it makes it easier if you loosen it first.

[@sebsebseb1905]

@@mikonuj thanks a lot

[@jameswaugh115]

So if you just take one light off the whole bumper doesnt have to come off right?

[@mikonuj]

Right

[@Matt-ux5pc]

........think i will call a professional

[@teamcreem]

Very expensive flathead screwdriver you’re using for the intake tubes lol

Good explanation pal, but not the easiest for idiots like me lol

[@RAFAELGONZALEZ-kc2yn]

Mmmmm.......how come you only show how to remove the easy one ? Remove the left side......or change only the left bulb on the left light assembly. That World really help 😊.

[@KleenBenz]

I took mine off today, driver side is the same process. They skipped the part about how getting the light out is a task in itself and the 1 upside down screw was a doozy to get off.

[@willianw.maciel433]

Fk this be hard tô do

[@arfeensiddiqui3933]

What a terrible design. Just to get a headlamp out??? Seems like a mechanic will charge at least $200. Design malfunction at its height, good job Mercedes Benz.

[@hotrodpetesgarage699]

Crappy audio, can't understand the instructions.

[@codyprechel622]

hey i have a 2009 C300 I was wonder if i could use A 204 820 47 39 part instead of A 204-820-32-39
