I was wondering is this a home fixer or do I have to go to a shop for this? Is this a good time to try and get higher output lights or stick with stockers? Wheres a good source? Partsgeek?

I recently replaced the headlight bulbs in my ml with Osram higher output bulbs, i didnt need to remove the headlights to do this but the h/lights are easy to remove anyway, just remove the single screw on top and two 10mm nuts hidden behind the plastic strip at the bottom and the headlight comes out.

I changed my own headlight bulb and if I can do it, anyone can do it! The driverside was hard because it is a really tight space to get into. Save yourself the money and DIY!

I ended up going to an autozone with my ipad and bought some silverstar ultras (i think?) and used their tools to put them in. The lights are brighter than stock I just wonder how long they'll last!
