Hello guys,

I own a 2008 B-200 Turbo and I'm experiencing a very dim light lowbeam issue.

It makes my night driving quite dangerous since i can't see anything.

After trying new H7 headbulbs, I didn't see any improvement. My projector lens looks very milky, can I disassemble it to clean it up ?

Since i never did it, i don't even know how to remove the whole headlight assembly. Is there a tutorial out there ? I tried my luck on google but no result.


Thanks !

after investigation,

it appeared the previous owners installed aftermarket HID lights, they burned the projector lens and the housing was fixed with some epoxy. which broke into my hand.

Can i just buy new projector lens or do i have to replace the whole unit ?


also how the hell do you remove the front bumper ?

Please go to your "user CP" and fill in your profile..(very handy for us here)..


I have an aftermarket HID B Class conversion kit and it's been working perfectly for ~ 10 years now.. Get the right kit for the right car..

Everything comes off quite easily. Remove the black plastic at the top of the light housing and remove the few bolts that hold the whole light unit in there. You'll probably have to change the whole unit..(scrapyard)

Remove the black plastic under skirt and just start removing the attachment bolts. The bumper (or bumper skin..?) comes off easily.

my bad ! it's done now :)

looks like the one the guys used wasn't compatible ... he left the ballasts in the car.

anyway, thanks for the help. I will give it a try to remove the bumper so I can access the last screw who stops me to disassemble the headlights.
