Help needed

[Darren Benson]

I’ve recently purchased a w213 e class that’s been damaged.
I’m hoping somebody can help me identify which headlights should be in the vehicle as they were stolen.

Thanks on advance.

Car is a 2016 w213 E220 D AMG premium

I did try that but it didn’t help as there’s 2 different headlight possibilities.
I was hoping someone would be able to provide parts numbers

Thanks again

Did you by chance buy the car after the headlights were stolen, and are looking to flip?

You could try a forum supporter:
As the very helpful JBell hasn't picked this up I'll plagiarize his information to help you:

Just E-Mail grangemouth.mercedes.parts@arnoldclark.com with your VIN and the part you require.

Their prices are excellent and service fantastic, if you live by any Arnold Clark you can pick up for free or they charge £5 for courier delivery

Or telephone 01324 686002

I did buy it damaged yes, between buying it and it being delivered the damaged headlights were stolen.
An no I’m not flipping it, I’ve currently got a w212 250 amg I’m replacing

Thank you for that, I did try Mercedes but they worked out at £1200 each by the time I bought the bulbs, ballasts etc

If they are ILS (Intelligent Lighting System) or LED/Xenon, that's not surprising.

Try as above, lots on here use them for parts, hence how quick the BMW driver popped in the phone number Mention the forum, JL and JB and ask for their best price. You may well be pleasantly surprised.

Pop in your VIN top right corner and find the part number for yourself?

 

[John Laidlaw]

You could try Dronsfields in the hope they have a rear damaged car with intact headlights

Hope it goes well, I suppose these parts are expensive even second hand!

I did try but it just says no data card available

 

[Darren Benson]

Still no further forward with this if anybody’s able to help please?
It’s the last thing I need

 

[V6Matty]

Afraid I can’t give you an idea of which might be fitted but you will find their not plug and play, light clusters are coded to the car for some daft reason.

May seem silly but have a look at your windscreen, if it’s got lots of cameras at the top then it’s likely to be ils if not then just normal led/xenon.

 

[Darren Benson]

It does have the auto lights and auto main beam, lane departure etc.
I was hoping there’d be someone here that would have access to the Mercedes system.

 

[John Laidlaw]

Not sure what other help you could get? At the end of the day there are no aftermarket replacements available so it’s either MB or the breakers? Knowing which of the 2 possibilities doesn’t move you forward you still have to buy one or the other so if you contact breakers like Dronsfields with your vin they will say yay or nay or here’s the new price? Just an example

 

[Darren Benson]

It would move me forward by knowing which of the 2 different lights that could fit to buy from a breakers or even eBay, there are both types available from a breakers in the south but they’re none returnable.
So it’s a 50/50 which it is but it’s an expensive gamble at £1000
