Folks - just joined the club. I have a 98 ML320 with 42k and just went out of warranty. I failed to secure any extended warranty so I am faced with the question of whether to trade it for something else or take the risk of keeping it without warranty. If I keep it, I would keep it for another 3 years. The only thing going for it is safety! Based on all the problems encountered with 98 production, what would you do... At this point, I assume I can't get any extended warranty. Any suggestions/opinions/comments are very welcome! TIA |

Please tell me all about these hidden driving lights within the headlights and how to activate/install. I have the switch inside, but nothing happens when I activate it. I hear rumors of installing H3 bulbs and having the dealership activate the switch, is this true? Thanks in advance,Kevin. |

| Should I buy the ML 430? Is it going to be a maintenance horror story? ML is silver with black leather interior. CD changer, BOSE sound, heated seats, NAV system. 21,000 miles asking price $38,000. What do you guys think? | |

If you DO NOT have Xenon's, then there is a fog light section of the regular head lamps. It is inboard on each lamp, pre-wired, all you have to do is put in an H3 bulb and ask the dealer to activate that feature and viola - fog lamps. I bought a set of 85W Piaa superwhites and they work very well at filling in close to the truck. It's a little tough getting your hand in there on the passenger side, and be sure to have a small mechanics mirror so that you can make sure you get the bulb in completely and the cover on, as you can get moisture in the lamp if this is not done correctly. I had to dry out mine after trying to cheat and doing it by feel (I have eyes in the tips of my fingers, but they weren't working that well, I guess they need some glasses!) Good Luck |

Have had the 2002 ml320 for a while, and love the way it drives. Someone told me something interesting, and I havent verified it yet, apparently, the ml320 weighs 1K lbs more than the lexus 300 suv. I have always liked the heavy feeling of the car, but that is really heavy. I'm all for it. So far the car drives great. Except for some shuddering at low rpm, eg when on and stationary at a light etc. QUESTION : Is everyone out there waiting for 10K miles for their first fuel change ? It just seems wrong to go for so long w/o an oil change, especially the first one. I remember reading that in a new car, there can be a lot of metal shavings that accumulate in the oil and that the oil should be changed sooner, than later. |

Hey Bertram60, Thanks for the info. I see where they go, but on my vehicle there does not seem to any brackets for the H3 bulbs to be placed and clipped in. All I see is a hole to the inside of the head lamp. Do I need the mirror to see the bulb brackets? I have installed H3's before and there has always been a metal hold down bracket. |

| There should be a clip attached to the back of the lens. You will definitely need a mechanics mirror in order to see it. Make sure the bulb is fully seated and that the covers are on 100% or you'll get water inside the lens. | |
