This is a tutorial on the removal of the headlamps on the W204. I have the standard headlamps without the Bi-Xenon package, so I won’t know for sure how this…

Thanks for the video. My ’12 C350 already comes with the smoked bi-xenons, but knowing how to remove the grill is what I was interested in for other reasons.

mikonuj says:

Did it myself!
Check out my site to see some of the headlamps I’ve done. The link’s in the description.
It’s been a while since I’ve updated the site, so excuse the construction lol

tam tran says:

you are the man

@SyncAhead The HIDs were pretty simple. At the time, I was still a novice at getting the the tight compartment to get the bulb out, so my difficulties were reaching the bulb and getting the xenon bulb in there without letting it touch anything. The only other thing is that you have to drill into the cap, but overall yeah!, it’s a straightforward mod.

mikonuj says:

@wildmanowords That was painted using Krylon plastic fusion paint. There was no need for me to prime it because it wouldn’t be exposed to road debris so it didn’t need the extra resilience. It was a pretty simple mod though; just mask, and paint away.

mikonuj says:

@yinyin21990 it took a while for me to find time, but I finally got it uploaded!

mikonuj says:

Sure thing! I’ll post a follow-up as soon as I get it posted!

Yin Ting says:

geart video Mikonuj, can you also make a tutorial on removing the turn signal light bulb? i’m trying to chrome spray the bulb to get rid of the “egg yolk”

superpower1000 says:

Excellent work. Very good job. Thanks

Sync Ahead says:

Great tutorial. Was installing your HID’s easy?

wildmanowords says:

Did you just paint the engine block cover or is that an actual mod? If painted, what kind?

mikonuj says:

Wow!, awesome, dude! Glad I could help! =D

@mikonuj917

Sure you can clean it up but if you look at your fenders at @1:35 and @1:41, you can see the bends in the plastic of the fender.

I appreciate the DIY video by the way. But just for future reference is all seeing as you’ll be working on the car’s of others.

mikonuj says:

Good advice, but it’s more an optional, if not unnecessary, preparatory precaution. Those scuff marks you see in the video are just fingerprints and grime. The following post will show a picture of that portion taken just today, and as you will see…Spotless. =]

snarIingchicken says:

Just something to note. You might wanna use some painters/duct tape on your fenders while pulling out the fender liner so that the liner doesnt bend/scrape the fender. I can see yours is pretty damaged already.
