Headlamp Replacement

Lost a headlamp-4 years in. Have other W211s replaced through MB dealer and what did they charge?

You're posting in the wrong forum........this is for W211 E Series vehicles. Do a Search and you should find lots of threads/postings on headlamps.

This is a really easy fix. Unless you're under warranty you are better off picking up a bulb on your own and fixing it yourself! You just reach down in and find the bulb connection, rotate it and pull it out then swap the bulb. Make sure not to touch the bulb with your skin. There's not much else it really

Again, this is a FORUM

Where people exchange ideas and help each other. It is not an ANSWERING SERVICE. You obviously did no searching either on this forum or your OWNERS MANUAL. That is his problem and mine also.

I didn't mean to offend you: Your member data on the left indicates you drive a C63 AMG so that's why I made the statement........it's not obvious with all the stuff you have listed under your signature that you also own an E series vehicle.

Why are you so grumpy? Save it for your family. Show me the thread that answers the question concerning the cost of bulb replacement by MB dealers.

Thanks to those of you who provided replacement information.
