Hi all,
Please would you'll give me some advice as to how I can change both inner and outer BiXenon headlamp bulbs. Also, what brand would be recommended?

Thanks

Can you clarify what you mean by inner and outer. There is only one bulb for each side. I would go with the OEM brand.

Pardon me. Should have been a bit clear.
I meant, changing all the bulbs in the units (both left and right headlamps)
The larger lamps (outer) and the smaller (inner).
My light intensity can be described as feeble..at best.

I am by no means an expert on the BiXenon lights but if they are not burnt out then they are probably as good as a new bulb. I had Xenons on a 99 E300TD and they were fine after 10 years and 200K miles. The bulbs are over $100 each. How are the lenses on the light fixture-- If they are weathered then it could help to get a kit to restore them -- polish the haze off.

You can change the bulb with any other bulb in its size, usually this is done to change Kelvin, go from 4300k - 5000k and up.. when you change to these higher Kelvin bulbs they will not be brighter, actually they will be dimmer and have a blue-ish hint. Sizes are like DS1, DS2 for Philips, etc.
