LED ILS by the looks of it. Is the car yours? The type should be laser etched into the side of the lamp.

Many thanks Craig, it's not my car, it's one I'm considering. Many things have changed thanks to Covid 19. Who would have thought... :D:rolleyes:

Could possibly be bi-xenon however, it’s most likely LED. Most (not all) cars which have LED, don’t have the headlight washer I believe. So it’s a mixed bag! Search YouTube for Mercedes lights as I believe these are similar headlights to other models and someone might of filmed it!

Headlamp cleaner for LED equipped cars went out of regulation in 2016, so impossible to say based on the photo!

Thanks for your replies gentlemen. I have now obtained the VIN and the data card reveals that they are bi xenon.

I wouldn't worry too much - there are a LOT of C-Classes out there. Another will be along soon.

Shame OP was looking at a GLA then ;)
D'oh, your right. Old age and a small phone screen - just saw the single DRL and thought C-Class. Lots of GLAs out there too though :)
