Headlamp Melted!!!
 
Guys,

Check this on your MB, My 2001 C320 has had a Melt Down where in indicator flasher fits in.[&:]

I think this has happened because the connector was not fully twinted in and caused the contact to get hot and then melt the plastic into the back of the headlamp housing.[:@]

The good thinG is the ECU is designed to substitute one of the front lower bumber lights to flash when the indicator fails, same applies to the rear lights also. :eek: AMAZING!!

Either way,

NOW I'm looking for information how to remove the headlamp, I got the bolts on the top, but there is a bracketunder the lamp that is holding it in place, I dont want to force it...
SO ANY HELP OR ADVISE WOULD BE APPRECIATED :):)

there is actually a updated harness and bulb that fits in its place no need to remove that headlamp assembly

remove or loosen the bumper for there is another screw on the lower front of the fender.

I got a Pair of Xenon Lights for £210 ($360 US) off of Ebay, they work a treat, However you need to ignite them with the engine off, and Ive lost headlight adjustment.

As a matter of interest, I fixed the lamp that went into melt down and I'm thinking of putting them back on to keep it original.

Thanks for the advise Sleepwalker, the bolt behind the bumper is sneaky!!! [8D]
