Sweet reference! Does anyone know the reference in terms of brightness of the stock halogen compared to the SilverStar Ultra? I notice the lights are quite bright, actually for stock bulbs.

Good guide, that's what I saw on sylvania's website, but the daytime running light of the one with halogen capsule is not correct. Mine's the 2010 sedan, it's got the dual bulbs on the bumper, and it's NOT the LED for the DRL. Can someone please help me with the type of bulb it uses? I'm new to the MB family and new here...been looking around the forum and finally found this relevant post.

I was wondering how do you access these lights. I wanted to change the turn signal bulb and the cornering lights which everyone seems to say require removing the bumper is this serious? Why would they do such a thing. Even the drivers side hid is a bit of a task to access.
