Boy, what a difference in lighting! My driverside headlight was showing pinkish tone and flickering, so I figured it was time to replace bulbs on my 2004 S500.
I ordered Philips Ultinon from ebay and installed. What a difference in brightness! It is significantly different in light output.
I paid $99 for pair of bulbs and well worth the money!

OH!!!! Thank goodness. I thought you were saying you paid $6K to install a headlight. I thought that was a bit much even for MB.

Funny S600! I thought $99 was outrageous for two bulbs, but after the install. it was way worth it every penny!

Kinda pointless to post without pics. I am in the process of replacing my bulbs as well but I am debating between spending 50.00 a pair of 5k morimotos or going all out and getting the 185.00 Osram Xenarc CBI.

I beg the differ. I did research on the bulb to avoid the fake ones. There is a seller who gives you comparison to detect the fake ones. I did avoid and compared the description and pictures. It is the genuine ones I have purchased and light output is clearly superb.

I will take some pictures and post soon. It is raining like mother outside.
