Shop wants $89. For the bulb n $50. Labor.
Dealer in Newport Beach wants $229. To install. New one
It's not easy to replace.
I'll wait until I've got the extra money.
I've learned that there is NO cheap way of fixing anything on an AMG!
Just have to realize the cost of having an AMG.
I love the fact that I have one of the fastest cars in any lot I park in. 😎
Go to Pacific Coast Benz in Costa Mesa and they will take care of you for a lot less. You need to replace the other side as well, because there will be difference in color. Tom is the shop owner. Tell him Sandy recommended you. I have a set of used D2S bulbs if you'd like. Just have them put it in.

The low beam bulb on the other side was replaced 6mo ago so I should be able to get away with not replacing both at this time. I hope. I just don't want a fix it ticket. Fix it" aren't free in calif.

Nothing is free nowadays. You need to put some money aside to keep up vehicle in good shape. Light bulb is not a big deal. Wait till you have to replace the control arms or something more important.

I have two used D2S Philips xenon bulbs. I'm willing to give it to you. Just have the shop change them for you. It's very simple.

If you get a bulb from a different place than the other one from six months ago it's likely to have a different color


There's a reason you replace in pairs
