Mercedes E320
Reasonably priced Mercedes parts?
Hi...
I am having a terrible time trying to locate a part for my '97 Mercedes E320. I just bought this car used, but the previous owner neglected to tell me that the front headlight wasn't working because the power commander box is bad and needs replacing. This part is the control unit for the Xenon headlight. Anyway, after calling the dealership I was told this part was going to cost over $800! This is not a big part...this is a relatively small piece that the back of the headlight plugs into. Anyway, I was hoping someone here could give me some guidance on where to find parts that are cheaper and/or if anyone knew where I could locate this particular part other than the dealership! Thanks a lot!

Dealer wanted $1050 EACH front rotor for SLK55 with performance package. Got them for just over $500 each from parts.com, OEM shipped from a mainland MB dealer. Did the install myself and saved thousands.
