    The high beam on my LH headlamp is out. After looking at the WSM, and searching here with no success I am stumped. How do I remove the headlight in order to get access to the bulbs ? The light has 5 rubber mounts, only one on the bottom center has a screw. The others do not and not sure if they should.

    Thanks in advance.

    I just did this on my 355, I'm assuming they are the same.

    Once the shroud is removed, there are 3 tabs that secure the light assemble the screws are only there to adjust the throw of the light beam. Pry the tabs with a flat head screw driver and release the light.

    Place tape 3-4 layers on the light shroud and body panel beneath the light as it's a very tight fit and it will mark the paint if your not careful. Once the housing is free you unscrew the light covers and replace the bulb.

    Also a good time to clean the light housing too.

    Further to the above the top tabs on the light fitting I cleared first from the headlight shroud, and the lower tabs will appear not to have room to clear the body panel, you need to apply light pressure to the headlight cover and carefully lift the headlight assembly up and out to clear the panel and free the light. It is very tight and you will at first be wondering if it's even possible to remove.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks to all for your help. I thought some prying on the tabs might be the answer but wanted to check first.
