What are the recommended replacement bulbs for a W124?
standard is H4 55/60w (i think)
current bulbs are probably past their best, i dont want anything that looks too flamboyant ( bright blue for example ) and do not wish to upset the bulb warning light on the dashboard
a mild improvement...
I wonder if someone can give me some advice.
At the end of 200 mile journey in my normally bulletproof '79 450 SL, as I got home I heard a loud buzzing noise coming from the engine compartment. When I got out I realised that the washer jets and pump were running (the lights were on as it was...
I've noticed there's a wee bit of water in the passenger headlamp of my 96 E class. How easy or otherwise is it to fix this? Does the light come out easily and can you get enough access with your hands to clean & dry the inside of the lens?
Sorry for more questions, I have a donor W124 with headlamp wipers, I fancy fitting them to my W124 that doesn't have them.
Is this far more trouble than it's worth of is it a case of changing washer bottles headlamps and plugging bits in, I suspect it is as life is never that easy. Thanks a lot.
as the title suggests im looking for headlamp wiper blades for my w126. in good condition new/used. defo need passenger side at the min as the wiper blade has a crack in it
I've got a Vito wiring diagram, which tells me that the headlamp relay is K68 and number 0165452632 (00) I know what it is just don't know where it is. :confused:
Can someone please tell me which location it is in before I have to remove the fire extinguisher from the front passenger well etc...

Let me know what you have! :thumb:
Just popped the wheel arch liner to try and have a look at the non-functioning headlamp washers on my 2001 C32 estate. The haynes manual shows one pump on the reservoir. I have 3. I presume the Haynes picture is for a saloon. without headlight washers.
I'm without an assitant so I'm not...
This is an Original Smart Component - It was removed from the car because the previous owner was unaware of how to change the light direction.
"Smart are ceasing sales of separate lamps, they expect you to buy the whole corner unit !
This comprises both main and dipped beams, and the plastic...
I have a 2012my c class saloon with xenons and active headlamps. It doesn't appear to have headlamp washers. I though they were a legal requirement if you have xenons?
on one of my cars neither the wipers nor the jest work
now ive been told that that means they are both broken and both need replacing at quite some expense
but
on my other w124 the wiper stopped working (dead motor) but the jet still worked
so im thinking there would have to be 2 broken...
Hi everyone,
Trying to get the headlamps off my W-reg (early 2000) C240 and cant get the plastic trim off which hides the last screw.
This trim runs down the side of each headlamp and it looks like it is fixed by two plastic 'rivet' thingys. These 'rivet' things look like they are two peice...
Hi Folks,
When I bought my 2004 C180 from the dealer, the front right headlamp was out. He fixed it before I took the car.
Now, 5 days after taking the car home, the light has gone out again.
Is this likely to be a fuse issue?
Cheers,
Steve.
W211, post-facelift: should the headlamp switch symbols (<P, P>, 0, auto, side, dip) be illuminated? Mine aren't, which seems like an odd omission in such a well-equipped car.
When I fill the screen wash bottle on my W124, it's entire contents seems to empty over night via the headlamp wash wipe nozzles.
I've replaced both nozzles with brand new parts from the dealer and this hasn't cured the problem.
All the hoses checked, and are all fine.
So, the only remaining...
Hi All
Apart from dealing with my brake bulbs popping, see other thread..I went to play with my headlamp height adjuster switch the other day and it disapeared into the dash..
Do I need to hire a gynocologist to put this right or is there an easy way to access this dash panel and put it back...
Hi all, looking for some help if possible with a problem i have on my 2002 W209 240.
After driving for about 30 to 40 min the headlamps come on without being switched on and stay on even after trying to switch them off at the switch.It is only the headlamps and front side lamps that come on no...
