W203 Coupe Projector Xenon Lights - Help

[magictorch]

I have a 2004 W203 Coupe with what I think are projector headlights.

The connection has broken on the nearside light, and it looks like a sealed unit.

Is there anyway of replacing the connector, I can't see how I could splice it in?

I can't find a replacement RHD unit anywhere, could I replace both with something else?

Thanks

You have xenon lamps and not projectors. I believe the connection twists on/ off.

If it is broken, I suspect you will need a new xenon ignitor.

Thanks, do you know where the igniter is?

I can't see how the connector twists off, what should I be looking for?

This should help:

Xenon Ignitor Igniter Ignition Mercedes C-Klasse W203 1307329067 1 307 329 067 | eBay

The igniter will be inside the headlamp.

If you look at the other lamp, this should give you an idea of the final position of the connector. The connector will turn a quarter degrees into the final position.

Thanks dokalj, massive help!

Do you know if you can buy just the holder and cable?

Hi,

Apologies for the late response. I do not think you can, although would you really want to start cutting and splicing cables if you could purchase the entire unit?

Are you confident yours is definitely broken?
