Turn off the vehicle and open the hood. Locate the headlight assembly from behind, remove the dust cover or retaining clip, disconnect the wiring harness, twist the old H7 bulb counter-clockwise to remove it, then insert the new bulb and reassemble.

LED bulbs used off-road or in auxiliary lights are legal everywhere. For on-road headlight use, legality varies by state.

Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500?

Upgrading to LED is one of the most effective ways to modernize your Mercedes-Benz's appearance and safety profile. We recommend starting your upgrade with the H7 low beams, as they see the most use. Adding a matching H15 LED kit later will complete the look and ensure consistent lighting performance. Because Mercedes-Benz utilizes a CANbus system, standard LED bulbs may cause "bulb out" errors on your dashboard. Always opt for "Error-Free" or CANbus-ready kits which include the necessary resistors. Don't forget the H11 fog lights; switching these to LED can dramatically improve your visibility in adverse weather.
