A Closer Look At W210 Xenon Headlights

I recently acquired a set of new xenon headlights for my w210, one of them being a genuine Mercedes-Benz part and the other from Hella. Hella is the OEM for the w210's xenon headlight. The lights are identical beside 1 marking and the sticker, and the box. I go over why the headlights fade and what happens to the lights internally.
