Bulb has gone and its a inner wheel arch off job to replace mad However I need to buy the right bulb but am not sure what type I have. Can you tell from these photos? They look a little like xenons, with a white light but I am not sure.

I know xenons have to have washers but washers can be none xenon as well.

If it was me I would give my local Mercedes parts desk a call and give them my VIN and ask for a price on a replacement bulb. They will tell you if they are xenon or not. Also the price may indicate it smile xenon will be a lot.
