Can I fit LED replacement bulbs in my Mercedes E-Class?
Just wondering if you could give us some guidance on whether LED replacement headlight for a 2012 Mercedes E-Class headlight is a good choice and what would you suggest?

The MoT inspection manual was updated in January 2021 with the following: 'Existing halogen headlamp units on vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp for light source and lamp not compatible.' We would suggest fitting high-performance halogen bulbs instead, such as Philips RacingVision or Osram NightBreakers as an alternative.
