S430 2002 headlamps
 

How do I remove the driver's side headlamp complete unit, I took out top and bottom bolts, lamp is loose but blocked by bumper cover, surely the bumper does not have to come off? or does it? Thanks

partially yes, but only just pull it out to get the lamp out. you must pry back or remove the inner wheel well liner at the front....there might be another screw at the lower bumper behind a grille then where the bumper meets the fender there is 1 screw usually a torx, unscrew that then theres a metal bracket that holds the bumper to the fender it will slide backwards and in towards the engine to remove it, then slide the bumper forward then there is a 10 mm screw where the bumper slid off on the side then you can remove the light after unhooking the 2 electrical connectors to the light.

Thanks chassis221, I'll try that method this week-end....multibenz
