HI, I’ve just had my 350 SL MOT’d, and the only advisory was to replace the front offside fog light bulb. I’ve bought a new bulb, next step was the handbook which advises that I should get my nearest Merc workshop to change it! Surely this can’t be beyond the abilities of a reasonably competent DIY’er?

Any tips please?

Thanks

It is relatively easy to do. Jack up the front of the car, rest on axle stands and lower the under plastic shield. Once it is lowered you should be able to see the back of the spot light and the rest should be straight forward. ;)
