Why not get these
Best bet would be to change to the later type facelift headlamps.
The headlamps on my first c class (1995) were crap compared to the ones on my current car (1998).
I went down the bulb change route with the earlier car, it improved things a bit. They still weren’t as good as the later facelift headlamps fitted with standard bulbs.
Am I missing something here? Gina is saying how the headlights are all but dangerous and I would suggest might even be driving beyond the visual limits they are happy with? I am NOT suggesting anyone is driving at exceptionally high speeds, I am certainly not having a go at the driver, I am trying to ask, "Are the headlights on this model that bad? Do all other owners of this model suffer with the same problems? Should the lights be upgraded or is there a reason for this poor illumination?I was quite surprised how poor they were, almost dangerous!
Thanks for that and it was the impression I was getting from the symptoms.It's the lens. The lights are very poor, as are E class halogen lights fitted to W210 and some say W211.
So what is the best solution really to this problem from what ive read so far im guessing the below :
A -Osram Silverstars
B -Facelifted Clusters (Standard)
C -Facelifted Clusters (Standard) with Osram Silverstars
D -Facelifted Clusters (Xenon)
Any other options i have missed ?

As an outsider, but perhaps guilty of suggesting different options, if it were my vehicle then the lamps would have to go. Fitting different bulbs is a cheap alternative, but the problem will always be there and the driver is not getting the optimum visibilty. I find it so much easier to spend other folks moneyI Agree, the pre-facelift headlights are light using a Mobile phone screen as a torch compared to the facelift lights
If it were me, knowing what I know now, dont bother changing the bulbs, get new light clusters!
IIRC H4 is a dual-function bulb for use with dipped and beam.H4 is the correct fitment right ?
