I've got a 05 plate A209 with a blown brake light. Now I've been intending to upgrade all of my lights (the standard, non-Xenon, urine yellow Merc lights just don't do it for me) and this blown bulb has given me a reason to make a start.


Just how difficult is it to replace the bulbs on a CLK? I had to change the H7s in my golf a few years back and nearly crippled myself in the process. Are Mercs easy enough to change? Are any special tools needed?

No tools needed and straight forward.

Many thanks. One final (numpty) question, apparently I need a H7 for High beam and a H7 for low beam. Does that mean I need 2 bulbs per headlight, or does one bulb do both tasks?

One bulb per function I'm afraid!

If I were you I'd be on the lookout for some OEM HID headlamps :)
