RE: replacing headlight bulbs

Look in your manual to see what type of bulb you have.
Replacement is VERY easy; just remove the rear of the headlight cover (gray). It has 2 clips.
Try to find Sylvania Silverstar bulbs. They do illuminate better but you should seriously consider upgrading your headlights to the euro (European) model.

RE: replacing headlight bulbs

As Sergio says, go with the Silverstars. I have them on my 86 300E and 90 300CE. Part #9004. About $40.00 out the door at Autozone. Best way to go this side of installing euros.

good luck,

And be very careful with the plastic parts holding the bulbs. Those little ****s can break very easily if forced.

RE: replacing headlight bulbs

I've got Sylvania Silverstars in my 300D and I'm not impressed. I'm looking for an upgrade. A parts store guy suggested GE "Nighthawks" anyone with knowledge of these bulbs performance?
Can anyone direct me to a link or post w/ photos of these "Euro lights" you're talking about?
Thanks. Oilburner

Are the bulbs H4s or H7s?
