R Class bi xenon bulb

[Migg]

Hi all,
I need to replace a xenon bulb on my R Class (2010 1st gen) equipped with bi-xenon and swivelling set up.
I can't work out which bulb I need (d2s or d1s), and how to replace it.
Does anyone have any tips?
Many thanks.

Have you checked your handbook?

It should list the type of bulb and, hopefully, the procedure?

Thanks for your response. I have checked the handbook which suggests to have it done by MB (surprise, surprise!) and don't even disclose the bulb type, nor the procedure. I guess they don't want to have "electrocuted clients" in their customer service guidance.

Bulb changed. It is a D2S on this model and with a bit of patience, perseverance... and a mirror, it was easier than I thought. No need to disconnect the battery either since, as you turn the ignitor to separate it from the bulb, the connector pops out.

Plus a sense of satisfaction at a job well done.
