1999 E320 Headlight Bulb Replacement

I have searched the site as well as others trying to get basic info regarding the replacement of a headlight bulb for a 1999 E320, but found nothing.

Does anyone have a recommendation as to which brand of bulb to purchase (H7 55W)? All other posts seemed not to be related to replacement of a standard bulb.

Any comments or recommendations as to quality of the replacement buld would be appreciated.

I picked up a GE H7/55 at WalMart for about $10. I've also seen the H7 by Phillips and Osram. All good. Some say replace in pairs but I did not and lighting was even. You can also check danielsternlighting.com for info in a 65W H7 which some on benzworld.org recommend.

I upgraded to the Osram Rallye 65w Ultra High Output H7 from Candlepower Inc., and also refinishing my headlight lenses. The difference is amazing.

Changed the bulb, but no light still

I just bought my 1999 E320 and the left.... I dunno what you call it to be honest, when you turn your lights on the first click turns on the inside lights... my left one is out, if i turn it again then the other 2 come on as well but the left inside light stays off. I've tried 2 different bulbs to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance, I appreciate any help.
