Default CLK320 1998 cracked fog lens

Hi everyone,

I'm new here. I bought a replacement fog light lens for my 1998 clk 320 and when I went to put it in the operation was a little more tricky than first thought. I was able to remove the weather flap screws and get underneath the light housing but got tripped up after that. I think if I got the light housing freed, finding my way in changing the lens would be doable. Any tricks on getting this accomplished?

Many thanks in advance!

Jason

You are almost there. You should be able to unplug the wiring (disengage) the foglight unit and replace the lense away from the car. Yoy can then reinstall the unit.

Thanks K_alavi,

Aren't there bolts holding the unit to the body of the car outside of the wiring?It just seemed that something else was holding it in there and I didn't want to force something I wasn't sure of.

Jason,

Go to http://www.importeccatalog.com and look up the fog light for you model year. It helps if you look at the front and rear pictures for the part.

It seems that you need to unscrew two screws on the bottom. Then you need to pry out (unsnap) the part toward the direction from front of the car towards back and the fog light should come off loose.
