Parking/Standing Lamp - replacement - Benzworld.org

The parking/standing lamp burned out on my 1999 E320 4Matic and I am having difficulty identifying the the appropriate replacement bulb. The Owner's manual only describes the bulb as "H 6W (6 W bulb)". I can't find a replacement bulb with that description. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

You are correct the bulb type is a H6W. I have a 2000 E430 and I found a set of matching bulbs for my Sylvania's on eBay which I'm waiting shipment. If you can wait I'll send you one of the stock bulbs when I remove them.

Mr. Pie,

Thanks for the offer. I'm looking for the name/description of the bulb so I can replace it locally.

Any local auto parts store that has parts for euro cars should be able to get you H6W bulbs. That is what they are called - although here is a link to a sight with all known cross-references and lots of other cool info about the bulbs - http://donsbulbs.com/cgi-bin/r/b.pl/h6w-ll.html

Here is a picture of some Philips brand bulbs clearly marked as H6W http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk/uploads/...oducts/171.jpg

Mr. Pie,

Thanks for the help. I've ordered the replacement bulbs. I appreciate the research you provided me. It helped me find a dealer.

I had the same bulb die on the wife's 4Matic Wagon. I searched everywhere, but no local parts places carried it. 'Napa' said they could get it but I would have to buy a box of 100!

Searching on-line, I found it at:

http://oem.thepartsbin.com/parts/thepartsbin/wizard.jsp?year=1999&make=MB&model=E-320_T4M-007&category=All&part=Halogen+Bulb

It is located in an unusual location in their system (Tools & Hardware-->Halogen Bulb), but it is the right bulb (12V 6Watt). They're cheap from this place, so I bought 2 and replaced them on both sides (along with some oil and air filters to get free shipping).
