Thanks for this video - I just wanted to change the dipped beam like for like and I could NOT find another video on this model. You made it relatively easy 👍
yes, it protects the light cover from direct heat radiation coming from the bulb. most bulb have a metal paint covering the top for this purpose, but others don't and car manufacturers add this shield to prevent aging and discoloration on the light cover.
@@richardgrimsel1106any flickering or issues you faced, I’m trying to find leds but it seems so complicated with Mercedes, finding ones that won’t flicker or show an error
I just installed Philips Ultinon Pro3022 in my W203 and the user manual actually indicates that the back cover should be replaced after installation. I agree with your concern about the heat, but hopefully IF something happens it is limited to the bulb or sorted by the Philips CANbus unit installed with the bulbs.
I have a cl203 sport coupe.Inside of my headlight is not the same. I don't have that black ring. I have an iron wire which is a pain in the ass. I want to not use bixenon anymore is trash,drosers too expensive and they don't work properly
Aren't the voltage tolerances super tight in theses cars? I read that any changes like this will cause cascading electrical problems in the BUS/PCM etc. I have ancient looking orange old school headlights and would love to change them out but I'm unable to get the right info about modifying voltages that the new bulb type would demand/draw.
Hi there. I just installed Philips LED H7 in my W203 and yes the tolerances are tight but if you buy a pair with a CANbus adapter (between power source and light) then you should be fine. You'll see that the bulbs in the video also have a CANbus adapter if you look closely at 4:45. These adapters should sort out any electrical issues before they occur, but I haven't had them in long enough to tell you with certainty.

@4:04 , Is that cover in-front of the bulb supposed to be like that? I have the same thing and it seems to lessen the light projection

The key is to turn the circle plastic that is around so the bulp is able to come out. Thnx from Cyprus
Good job done as well as the details of video 👍
The inner and outer uses h7? Thanks
Where do you get the retainer clip from? I bought this exact set of LED bulbs, but there is no way for me to get them to stay in.
Did you find out?
@@Venom-do1xc The original retainer clips fit in there, I just had to do some wiggling around to make them stay in place.

Did you need a converter?
Can you please send the Amazon link for this headlights? I can’t find them
Hast du den Link zum Kauf bei Amazon?
I put this led lights on down projector 😊
thank you, helped me 😊
Thanks to you i did it 😊
Sorry stupid question shouldn't the fan be open. Just asking as a friend replaced the back cover and bang the light obviously got hot and set a light

Very helpful but also very pointless as aftermarket substitute LED headlamp bulbs are illegal in almost every developed country.
Super
