Replacing Headlight on 1999 E55 AMG
Hi all
I have a 1999 E55 AMG sedan. I have to replace the headlights and got a replacement from JC Whitney. However the connectors are not the same - I have 2 connectors in the car for the old headlight and only one in the new one. I have looked at other supposedly “perfect match” E55 headlights and all. If them only have one connector as well.
Any advise ? Is there a different part number I need to order ?
pics of both my current headlight and replacement attached.
Thanks for all the help and any advice !

The E55 came with auto-level headlights and Xenon headlights. The replacement appears to be for the fixed halogen headlights on the base models. Try eBay for replacement Xenon lenses but be advised they may no longer be available. I believe I picked up the last pair out of Latvia a few years ago.
Edit: if you are seeking to replace the driver side headlight because of the crack in the housing, I have a driver side headlight shell that is good that has no guts in it.
