Question 2007 R320 Battery & Headlight Bulb

I am new to MBWorld and I don't know if this question has already been answered elsewhere. Does anyone have recommendations on replacement low beam headlights? Should I replace with same halogen H7 bulb or get an LED kit? I do not like aftermarket parts installed but if someone can recommend an aftermarket kit that they feel is quality and will not cause any other electrical issues I'd like to hear what you think. Also, what about replacing the front standing lamp which is a W5W bulb? Do you suggest getting LED's for them or keep the originals? I am afraid to purchase an LED kit because they seem to vary greatly in price and I'm not sure which is the best one for the $ or simplest to install. I had a battery replacement by my local repair shop and they did not replace with MB OEM battery because it was too expensive. They found an aftermarket replacement but said it was difficult to find thought the cost was about 1/4 of the price of the MB OEM battery. Does anyone have recommendations on battery replacement for the future? The replacement battery has a 5 year warranty and my MB OEM battery lasted more than 10 years! Any suggestions / recommendations are appreciated. Thank you.

Reach out to azn optics on the forum for a hid upgrade kit. That is your best option. LED is still too new and there is no clear concesus in quality and performance.

Hid is is reliable and proven. Azn is great.

Try pep boys for the Bosch agm battery. Make sure it’s a fresh batch.
