Euro head light question

I have OEM Euros on my 190 an one of the running lights went out (the little bulb under the primary one). I was thinking of replacing them with LED's if possible and wondered if anyone knows what size they are.

It looks like I need to take the lens off to get to them and was hoping to do this only one time. I do not want to take it apart to check the size, reassemble, search for the bulb, disassemble and install.....etc.

Thanks

Crap. Can a mod move this to the Tech thread? I did not realize I was posting here.

Thanks.

I believe the city light is 5W. Ba9s base bulbs, which replaced #1445 bulbs.

Cool. Thanks for the info

Now, does anyone have some glass lenses they want to sell? Mine are 22 yrs old and are showing their age.

Looks like micro-chipped. I can see the lenses and they look perfect. When I run my hand over the lenses I can feel lots of little micro-chips. I'll know more when I tear them down and replace the running lights and stick in some dual-beam HID's I'm getting.

+1

Actually the standard bulbs are 4W. There is a higher wattage 5W bulbs originally designed for the map lights (top front dome light and rear C pillar reading lights) but fit into the city light slots.

No need to remove the lens to access the city light bulbs.
