Merc c200 headlights

[spiff]

bought new headlight bulbs from merc century city, but they are "cheap" shyte! shine everywhere except where they should.

Looking for aftermarket upgrade headlights for my 2009 merc c200, possible HID lights if I can get them to fit.

any recomendations?

Then they're not fitted correctly.

Then they're not fitted correctly.

they are tagged - so they can only go in 1 way.

is it a W204?

Oh yeah?
I've seen keyed headlight bulbs forced in upside down more than once.

yes you can manually adjust them - which I have done and you also have the auto height adjustment.

it's not the height that's the issues - it's simply kark bulbs that don't perform as well as the original bulbs.

not sure if merc has a testing station for headlights like they do at the road worthy centres? they should ? show them and complain ?
