W211 E55 Active Headlights

[Major774]

Would anyone have a set of the active headlights lying around?

I actually only need the driver side because I can see the previous owner has replace the headlight with a normal one

These are like gold-dust - when one of mine failed i searched every breaker in the uk and Germany without any luck, kept looking for about a year!

about £650 from the stealer for a new one, cheapest i found was about £500 from a bosch agent.

in the end i sourced parts from a broken unit in germany and fixed the current one.

good luck in your search!

I Managed to pick a passenger side for under £50 lol... Back up spare hehe.

I am still looking for the driver side one.

Found one on eBay for £140, lucky some sellers don't know how to look out for the active headlights

Damn... the driver side headlight has packed up (the plastic cover is in mint condition as well)... back on the hunt again.

Looking for a W211 pre-facelift driver side active headlight.
