W210 Bulb Confusion

One of the parking lamps is out on my 98. So I looked it up on the Sylvania Osram site and it said 64132. So I ordered a pair of those.

But when I removed the bulb that's clearly not it. Then checked the manual it said it's an H6...a 6 watt halogen.

Can anyone point me to a source for the right bulb? Thanks.

Its an H6 or you can replace with a nice bright error free LED Ba9S

I bought them from this site's shop - they are halogen and dont like finger oils on the glass - be very careful while installing. They are the same bulb you used to find in the map light of W124 cars.

That is the "city light" (the smaller, inboard pair of "eyes"). H6 Halogen bulb. Hard to find.

I use the blue nitrile exam gloves for tasks like these. Easier than trying to hold the bulb with a cloth.

The only H6 bulbs I can find are those that twist into a base. My unit looks to be base and bulb as one unit. I've tried Pelican, AZ, and e-euro...nothing so far.
