Cannot find a 2002 E320 driving light?
What's the issue with these lights? I cannot find them anywhere?!?! It's the small round light next to the headlight. I just need a new bulb, not the entire light.

It's a H6W bulb with a BAX9S base. You can find them online (try eBay). You can probably get them cheapest from your dealer so you don't pay shipping. Auto parts stores will have H6W bulbs but with a different base. You'll need to remove a pin to make it work.

Instead of the H6 I used Sylvania 3893 (T4W) bulb which is readily available at Pep Boys. Bulb looks identical and works just fine. Slightly dimmer then the original bulb (4 watt vs 6 watt) but you'll barely notice it. If you replace both you definately wont notice it. The package is labeled License, Parking and Side Marker - European Lamps and its about $3 for two bulbs.

There might be some confusion here. The small round light next to the large low beam headlight is the high beam. For that you need an H7 which is 55 watts. I know for a fact that Autohausaz sells those, but I don't know about the regular retailers like Advanced, etc. If you're in a hurry, just buy one from a dealer; they can't cost that much.

Correct. And let me save others some time... The T4 or "Sylvania 3893" will not fit into the H6 receptacle! the contact nubs on the H6 bulb are offset approximately 200 degrees whereas the contacts on the Sylvania 3893 are offset 180 degrees. There is no way to even insert the 3893 bulb into the stock receptacle!
