What kind of bulbs are these?

hey guys, I don't have my manual. What kind of bulbs are these inside of the headlights - they are the yellow ones lite up..? I"m not referring to the signal light which is off and not referring to the side markers. I want to order replacement white ones..

Thanks.

If you want a brighter white light you can use this type of bulb: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canbus-Error...9d542d&vxp=mtr

I think the bulb type is W5W.

Make sure it's "error free". If you're changing to led.

Use these style bulbs for your headlight parking lights. It's A LOT brighter. I have the same ones in there now, and it's really bright. I had the 5led chip version before, and swapped them out for the 9led chip ones. Big difference. Good luck

Thanks guys...i'll order the one's jett mentioned and i'll revert back to this thread on how it's done. But I can tell you that I"m pretty sure that you have to remove the fender well cover to get to them similar to how you change the lights on the side markers.

So

So the fender well covers have to come out on both sides? Doesn't the manual say something about removing some engine parts?

https://mbworld.org/forums/new-s-cla...ing-light.html <- Should explain it. No, nothing in the manual.

its a 194 bulb basically. you just have to take out the fender liner clips just enough to reach in there and take out the socket. the socket can be tight, so be prepared to get creative.
