The Polarg bulbs have bayonet connectors that are directly across from each other while the mercedes bulbs are a bit offset. All you have to do is sand off one of the prongs. One is all you need for it to fit snugly, and sanding one of them off will make it fit perfectly. Good luck ;0)

yea, those prongs don't match, but you won't find any that will.... you can either file them them or cut them off... i just used pliers and cut one side off... works fine...
just make sure you the side you cut/sand off is completely off... anything left there can cause the housing to crack when you push the bulb in... i know from experience...

just to make sure I didn't create any confusion by saying cut 'THEM' off... cut just ONE prong off each bulb... DO NOT cut both prongs...

Those Polarg M17 bulbs are for the city light right?
