2005 E320 Parts Recommendation (headlight bulbs, mirror, hood sensor)
I bought a used E320 a few months ago and I needed to replace a few things, so I wanted some feedback on where to buy the parts online, preferably some links too!
I need to replace:
The headlight bulbs: LED bulbs in white
The rear license plate bulbs: LED white
The driver side mirror: should I buy from a dealer or will online aftermarket do?
The hood sensor: the car always thinks that the hood is open. I got it checked out at a mechanic and he told me that the sensor is broken, not the latch. I tried looking for it online but I’m not sure which is the right part.
Thank you guys so much, I’m still new to cars, especially Mercedes Benz, so apologies if I’m asking too much )

We can help you out with the lighting. Here's our H7 LED for low beams: H7 LED kit
Although I'd highly recommend an H7 hid conversion kit instead for better light spread that your halogen housing can use: H7 Hybrid HID conversion kit
Rear plate lights use this: 36mm festoon LEDs
Would also recommend led front parking lights to match your low beams: 194 wedge LEDs
All of our stuff are canbus enabled to be compatible with your SAM for error free operation.

• driver side mirror your best bet is eBay unless you really want to give the dealer a christmas bonus.
• AZN Optics for all things LED as noted in previous post.
• general maintenance like sensors, fluids, owner serviceable replaceable parts etc... I get at fcpeuro(lifetime warranty on everything they sell)
*pelican parts is also good if you are on the west coast (excellent model specific MB DIY maintenance articles)
There are certainly other means and reputable places, but the aforementioned is where my experience lies.
