Hi, one of my right low beam lights has gone out on my '12 C250. Can anyone please tell me what bulb to replace it with?

I'm looking for something on the cheap side. My lights are like a yellow color anyways, so I don't need anything too crystal clear.

Will this work for my car?

So it looks like it's H7 Standard headlight bulb right? My left low beam light bulb also went out (2012 C250), so need a replacement. I'm debating whether I should get an standard halogen one or an LED (or HID?) one.. thoughts or comments? Thanks!

My take from past experience with halogen, hid, LED bulbs....if you have projector lenses (round, "fish eye") you can use the OEM H7's or LED's..the HID bulbs give a poor pattern with scatter, dark spots, besides taking a while to reach full brightness. . Trouble with LED's is you have to chew up/modify the screw on dust cover to fit them and the OEM plug in area is really snug fitting the bulkier LED's.

I personally didn't like the hassle of LED conversion in my MB..was much easier in other model/makes I've had. Others will swear by LED's..sorta a "which oil is best" thread.

I am pretty firm on my feelings that headlights not designed for HID bulbs don't work very well.

My MB choice...Hella H7 halogens. This link has good info... https://store.candlepower.com/voh71sula.html
