Can anyone tell me how to replace the bulbs re: park lights and fog lights on
a 2005 Mercedes E320? I successfully replaced the high and low beams (H7) w/
bright white PIAA bulbs. Also, what type of bulb does the park and fog lights
take, H2?

The fog light should be easy... I know there is a engine cover, but at each
foglight position, there is a small flap you can open to access the foglight
unit... and then it is pretty much the same as headlight.

Found answer to my own questions: Replacement bulb for fog lights is H11 and
not H1 as most manuals state. You need to go to bottom of bumper located
below fog light and unscrew plate of compartment housing fog light. From
there, you can detach fog light bulb.
As to park lights, replacement is 194 Wedge mini led-type bulb (or for Osram
Sylvania 2357A or 2825) You have to pull out the entire housing of park light
including terminal connections. It might be a little tight so need to jiggle
it as you pull it out.

Presumably, like the earlier E class, the parking light is a
conventional filament bulb. Does not replacing this with a low current
led cause the computer to keep on telling you that the bulb has blown?

There are better bulbs than PIAA. Have a look here and poke aorund a bit.
