tell them they put the wrong temperature headlight in your car
tell them to put the correct, matching headlight back
how do you function in life
wait, there's different light temperatures? they're not all the same? i assumed it was just dirty...
and i dont function, clearly. just so we're on the same page, they replaced the WHOLE headlight unit, not just bulbs, and they used the OEM part. there are different temperatures for the OEM part?
is it the bulb or the DRL daytime running lights that are a different color? pic looks like the DRLs. that's weird they would have them in different colors. either
>A) the new one you got is correct however it's different than your old one because your old one changed color over time (common)
>B) you were given a third party headlight housing
check the housing for mercedes logos. how old is the car? and which one is the new one, driver or passenger side?
Its just a new/old bulb difference. That's why you change them in pairs so they fade at an equal rate
This is why you replace them in pairs.
One bulb is older than the other and has faded. find out how to replace the headlight bulb like you should have already known and replace it.
>This is why you replace them in pairs.
i wish. surprised those cheap fucks even replaced that one
>check the housing for mercedes logo
yeah it's there. they both look the same.
>year
2018
>which one is new
driver's side is new, passenger side is old(picrel)
this is the new driver's side headlight
looks like the old one is fogged up/dirty i think? and the car came without headlight access covers, is it possible the dirt is inside? or can i just wash the outside and it'll look fine? if so, how do i wash it?
get a headlight restoration kit. will generally involve sanding the housing, buffing it, then clear coating it. should restore it to like new condition.
Go annoy Mercedes with your dumbass questions OP jesus christ
hide the thread if you dont like it. or keep bumping it for me lol
thanks anon. will look into it
Looks like one of the shitboxes I've flipped. I bought a bunch of different headlight bulb sizes on Ali and put them in cars with burnt out ones.
>own mercedes
>have to replace headlight
>too poor to just replace both so they look the same
ngmi its your fault
"own mercedes"
Lmao and yet those are the niggas calling you poor for not leasing a lame ass C class
i didnt say i cant afford a new headlight, just wanted more information before making a decision. if it doesn't look good after cleaning I'll replace it
Get a new bulb for the other side
got the car detailed and got a headlight restoration. looks about the same even after the gu did the whole restoration process 3 times. sounds like i gotta replace the headlight then, thanks for the help frens
