I looked as well and its tight in there. One side looks more accessible than the other. There is a workshop manual floating around with an exploded view that may help.

Also why a canbus bulb?

I have a bunch of LEDs I never used for my s550

I am sure they will work


I been looking at it again, I think you have to remove the front bumper to access the bulbs!!!!

i asked about the headlights before i bought my car and was told there was considerable labour to change one. I had read about this somewhere while research cars and was "re-assured" by the dealer that they rarely go out. I interpreted that to mean, go ahead and buy the car it'll be alright.

LMK if they were correct.

ps. I thought these were some of the best head lamps I have ever seen on a car can you really make it better? Do you need to? is it worth the effort? No aggression in tended mate just asking.
