Cool
Thanks, Oliver,

See, I don't mind paying $125.00 US for a bulb. (Well, actually I do; that's why I buy older cars. . . .) Just part of the price of driving an MB, I suppose. But if the car came with a regular inexpensive H7 bulb in 1997, and now in 2007 MB is trying to tell us that the only bulb available is one you have to sell blood to buy, I'm understandably upset.

I've done an additional search on the 'net, and I see 55W H7 bulbs go for more like $15.00 USD. I'll go check the auto parts store near me and let everybody know.
