W163 xenon bulb

[frog1520]

Hi all,

Looks like I need to replace the xenon headlight bulb. Manual says its a DS2 35W, but says changing them is not a DIY job?!

Never changed a xenon bulb before - is it really any different to changing a halogen lamp?

Also, anything I need to know when ordering the bulb - does anyone know what the OEM type is? I can see options for 4100, 4300 etc but no idea which one I need?

Thanks!

4300.

It's much like any bulb...but MAKE SURE the ignition is off, key out, for about 15 minutes before you do it.

Do these look like the right ones?

Any views on Philips - OK or should I get something else?

Thanks again!
