Does anyone know the bulb size for the Xenon light system for a 2000 E 430 4Matic? Also does anyone know how to replace the xenon bulbs? The owners manual tells you go to the stealership to get it worked on, but i really don't feel like getting raped by them for something I should be able to do myself.

A xenon bulb is a xenon bulb and not an H7. You can get your bulb from the stealership or from an online vendor. I get mine from these guys: 8007415252 Rusty's Parts. Give them a call and they can get the bulb you need at a better price than the stealership. You can change the bulb yourself.
The bulb usually does not go bad. The problem is usually the ignightor. Is it your passenger side xenon that is out? If so, these are known to go bad.
I am wondering what size they are to buy I wanna upgrade to 8000k you can blubs you can purchase them on ebay for under 100 dollars is it worth it, and what size of bulbs do I need?
The type of xenon bulb used is Type D2R. There are different Kelvin temperature colour of the bulb. You go to www.plasmagarage.com and it is rather informative on that web. Yes you can change the bulb yourself.It is so easy.Good luck.
I just installed xeon light system, from a diffrent E430 with xenons, everything worked fine for a bit, but I am noticing one of the lights getting a little yellow sometime, aslo the check your bulbs light came on, and all the blubs work fine , I am wodering if I change the bulb would this solve my problem, also is there a way to test if its the blub or something else?
Yeah the passenger side bulb is not the same color as the driver side. The passenger side bulb turns pinkish after the light come up to temperature. I thought it was a system problem, but the dealer says its a blub problem.
