The headlight bulb socket is located behind the front thingamajig housing and in front of the whatchamacallit cover plate. Don't forget to use a 7mm thingamajig and 9mm whatchamachallit tool!

Oh, now I get your question. Where can you 'buy' a headlamp bulb socket? I am glad you clarified it. Thanks for being a good sport about the harmless kidding from me and makavelli.

I doubt that you can purchase just the socket except from a used auto parts place or a junk yard. If you have halogen bulbs you need a H7 bulb socket. I guess any junk car that uses a H7 bulb will due. Another good place to look - the trash bins of a Mercedes dealer Body Shop. Good Luck!

If you are looking for a H7 bulb socket, then you can find it here on Ebay - search for "H7 harness".

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2465024008

This is nothing more than a standard H7 socket with thicker gauge wires.

If you are really in a bind, for go the socket and use 2, 1/4" female, solderless, crimp on connectors. They will push right on to the H7 bulb.
