Eaglite low cost night vision
I have Silvania aftermarket bulbs on my own vehicle. I installed these on my wife's ML320. They are the bee's knees and way better than more than some more expensive aftermarket bulbs.
When you have these on the difference lterally is night and day. Save yourself $30 and look into this if you have difficulty seeing the road with the std. headlamp bulbs and are fed up eating carrots to improve your night vision.
Look around this site:
"For those thinking about changing dome/city/side light bulbs...get the eaglite (avail www.midnightmoose.com). The eaglite brand give you that white/blue color ..."
I'm not the only one who thinks this....
Note: the H7 main beam are 80W and you need different bulbs for high beam (I did not change my high beam).

buy cheap buy twice...
After 3-4months one bulb just blew ........
Lucky I bought 4 bulbs in one pop.
I still like these bulbs and would recommend them to other ML owners. Just don't count on them lasting forever. Buy them becauses you want an easy low effort way to get better light.

SilverStars
Try Osram SilverStars by Sylvania at www.powerbulbs.com. I put those in at the recommendation of another ML owner and really like them. Good clean output with much clearer light than stock. A little expensive, but so far, worth it.

I have these coincidentally on another vehicle. I agree they are good. But there do not seem to be H7 for the low beam available in the US. It seems Osram distribute "silverstar" in the UK. The same tradename (and product) is used under Sylvania in the states. But Sylvania do not however list the H7.
I have has the silverstar for 10months on my other vehicle without issue.
I think I might go with the coolblue, Sylvania 55W H7.

try powerbulbs.com
the delivery from the UK took about 8 days. The Silverstar H7's are not available in the US. I think you'll be disappointed in the coolblue's.
I have a new set of H1 MTEC's on my desk as we speak if anyone's interested. $20.

Philips VisionPlus bulbs are phenomenal in my G500, though it uses H4 bulbs. Ordered from the UK and it took 5 days to get to me and the process was very easy and quick.

I thought there was a fundamental difference on the acceptable light pattern and lumens for same styl and Wattage bulbs UK to US? That is that a H4 55W UK bulb gave an "illegal" intensity and pattern? (This is over and above the reflector and lens design and location).
Does anyone know if I'm right/wrong?

Having tried the blue type bulbs - I personally now prefer them.
I was just checking ebay. There are a number of suppliers there that actually warrantee the buys for "life". If they fail you can return them for a replacement. Sounds too good to be true!

Either way (IMO) it would just be easier to buy new bulbs then to go through the hasell of shipping back bad and waiting for new + shipping charges both ways.

Is H7 the standard bulb?
i have a 2003 ML500, should the H7 do the trick?
I think the factory bulbs are so DIM because they don't want you driving to fast.
In my Bimmer, I can NEVER "outrun" the headlights, in the Benz, I find myself doing it quit often

I think I saw a condition of $6 for P&P handling. Still seems like a better deal than the $90 PIAA products.
Maybe I'm more cheap than thrifty .
jtwh20: - you need to verify whether you have H7 fitment bulbs as the first stage. Even my ML320 outruns the std light beam. E=mc^2 - nope just my bad eyesight.
