  • Dip beam (low)H7VerifiedHalogen base spec; Bi-Xenon ILS variants (mainly 2011+ facelift) use D1S instead
  • Main beam (high)H7VerifiedSame H7 type as dip beam on halogen cars; separate H7 reflector retained on xenon cars
  • Front fogH11Verifiedagmvision lists H11 (H7 shown only as an alternative for some units); US H8/H11 charts not used
  • Sidelight / DRLW5WVerifiedSidelight W5W; separate DRL is LED in the headlamp unit (non-replaceable) on UK trims that have it
  • Front indicatorPY21WVerifiedAmber PY21W (BAU15s) agreed by three domains; some later ILS/xenon headlamp units are listed with PWY24W - check the holder before buying
  • Rear indicatorPY21WVerifiedAmber PY21W in the outer wing cluster; agmvision and the Hella OE cluster spec agree
  • Brake / tailP21WVerifiedSeparate P21W brake and P21W tail bulbs in the wing cluster (no P21/5W); facelift LED-look clusters keep the bulb holders
  • ReverseW16WVerifiedW2.1x9.5d/T15 in the outer body-mounted cluster (the boot-lid lamp carries tail/reflector). Hella OE inner-cluster extract and MBClub UK owners agree; birnen-typ's P21W rejected - that page also wrongly claims LED rear indicators and a C5W plate.

  • Driver side24"Verified600mm; autodoc.co.uk W204 wiper table gives 600mm both sides, matching wiperblades.co.uk
  • Passenger side24"Verified
  • RearN/AVerifiedOften listed as 11". W204 saloon (base body) has no rear wiper; both retailers list a rear blade only under the S204 estate, where it is 11"/280mm elsewhere; that is wrong for this car.
  • ConnectorSide pinLikelywiperblades.co.uk states Side Pin for the front arms; autodoc lists Side Lock, Top Lock and Hook variants together for the model range, so the two domains do not cleanly agree
