How to replace a bulb w126

I assume you've got US Lights.

Remove the back of the headlight housing. Rotate the white plastic bulb holder. It may also have a wire bulb retainer that you need to squeeze & fold down. Unplug & remove bulb. Replace bulb with new one, using dry rag or tissue on bulb surface (or handle it from the rear/plug side. Twist bulb holder back into place. If applicable, flip wire back up and secure. Plug connector to back of bulb. Test with headlight switch for proper operation. If good, replace rear cover to headlight.

It's a good idea to do both bulbs at the same time, as older bulbs can have a different color than newer bulbs do with age/use.

Cheers,
Gerry
