Changing the tail light bulbs on a Mercedes Sprinter Tipper

We are going to change the rear light bulbs on a Mercedes Sprinter 516CDI dumper version.

To change the rear light bulbs, simply remove the plastic cover in front of the bulbs.

Use a TORX 20 screwdriver to unscrew the 4 screws holding the plastic bracket.

The plastic bracket can now be placed down, gently pull on the black grid to help the plastic into position to gain access to the bulbs.

Now that the plastic bracket is completely removed and down the headlight.

We will now identify the bulbs and their uses:

In black: Position lighting (night light)

In blue: Fog lighting

In purple: Lighting when braking

In green: Reversing lighting

In orange: Flashing light

If one of your bulbs is blown, locate it by doing an initial test then switch off the ignition.

Remove the bulb by unscrewing it, then put a new bulb in the same place, respecting its direction and screwing it back in carefully.

Once the bulb(s) have been changed and having checked that they are working properly.

Reposition the plastic headlight bracket in its housing, checking that the seal is properly seated.

Tighten the 4 screws using the TORX 20 screwdriver quite firmly.
