c55 healight bulb replacement

Hello fellow motorheads. Does anyone happen to have a DIY link for changing out the headlight bulbs in a w203?

HID or composite?

regardless you just unscrew the dust shields, twist the square power supply off, i think its red with a lightning bolt (if you have HID), you then unclip the 2 metal clips holding the bulb in but pinching them both in, the bulb should just fall out...

I don't remember the composite way but pretty sure its similar although there wont be a large power supply box to it since composite dont require large amounts of voltage to ignite, but regardless they are standard and you can just google a youtube video im sure

as long as they're D2S they will work. But do you really want 10000k? that just makes it pointless to have HIDs when you put something like that in, you're cutting your actually lumens in half with that

If it's not lighting then it may be the ballast, not the bulb, that's bad.

Thanks! I don't want the 10000k I want the ones closest to the oem Xenons that came with it. All I need are just the low beam bulbs.
