Five checks before you click buy
1. Chassis code (W205, W213, W463…).
2. Year range / facelift stage on the listing.
3. Side: left (LHD markets) vs right — confirm driving side.
4. Lamp technology: halogen, xenon, LED, matrix — coding may be required.
5. VIN confirmation with Stern Chassis Parts before dispatch on verified orders.
Why marketplace “universal” lamps fail
Connector pins, mounting tabs and DRL signatures differ by LCI. Photos look similar; plugs do not.
Use chassis landings such as /parts/w205 and filter lighting categories when available.
