Driver side headlight burnt out, what should I replace it with. (US Spec 300D)
My lowbeam burnt out, my high-beams still work though, I need to replace it soon, what light that is readily available is recommended? Right now I have 2D1's in there, but they suck pretty bad. Is there a write up on changing the bulbs somewhere? I searched and just found a bunch of euro threads.
Thanks!

I presume you know the lights are fused. You did replace the fuse, correct?

Are the separately fused? No I did not replace the fuse, figuring that the high beams would not work if the fuse was blown.

This is not a Chevy!!
 Mercedes has a fuse for left low beam, right low beam and hi beams.

What fuse numbers are these? I replaced all of my fuses months ago, so ill see in the morning if that is the problem.
If it is not the fuse, what is a good light that is readily available?

It's a little tough to predict what might or might not be in stock at your corner auto parts store. The are likely not readily available, but I recommend Hella H4 lamps. (Euro version if you can live without DOT approval.) Last edited by tangofox007; 07-16-2011 at 09:03 AM.

Are the Hella H4 lamps drop in? I don't care much about DOT approval, not an issue. Thanks!
