This should guide you on how to replace the bulb yourself.

Thanks for the directions. Can this be done with the headlight assembly in the car? Does anything have to be removed to gain access to the retaining ring and such that is in the illustration from page 1?

Thanks again.

most likely, it's the bulb. I think it's definitely the bulb since it happened to my mercedes before. The ground was burnt on the bulb!!! So it's time to upgrade it!! Give me a call at my number in my signature. You have to check if u have D1S or D2S. Most likely, u have a D2S and they are $80. Let's upgrade to 6000K!!

Yes they are the D2D as per the stamping in the top of the headlight housing.

What do you mean by upgrade to 6000K? What is the Kelvin temp are the OEM bulbs? I don't necessarily think that a higher K is better (or worse necessarily) than whatever the OEM is???? What do you think?

Thanks for your help.
