HID headlight change

Hi everyone, I have a 2010 e350 with the adaptive high-beam Xenon headlamps. My driver side (LHD, American car) bulb just went out and I can't find anything on replacing an HID bulb, only the halogens.

Anybody done this? I know the driver side sucks...any suggestions? Worth just having a dealer do it?

Thanks!

You'll need to replace it with D1S bulbs. Should be pretty straightforward in replacing. We carry top of the line Morimoto D1S bulbs if interested.

^ we can beat that price.

Although it's advisable to replace both left and right or else you'll have off color due to different age of bulb break in.
