Hi all, im new to all of this tbh. Ive recently bought a 2013 A class amg line, i love the car but the only thing that lets it down is the headlamps arent xenon, does anyone know if it would be just a case of replacing both headlamps or is it more difficult than that. Thanks Nathan.

Hello and welcome

Can, worms, opened… it’s not that straightforward and has been covered a few times on the forum. Please have a search

I’ll bite..!

it’s more complex than that. Your car is pre-2017 build so moving to the HiD option will require that you retrofit the headlamp cleaner system, which iirc requires a new front bumper as well as a new wash fluid tank.

Far easier to swap the halogen bulbs out for Osram Nightbreakers.
