9418205261 head lamp – Description
9418205261 head lamp is specified as a right-side front lighting assembly with fog function, suitable for MERCEDES-BENZ Actros first-generation trucks and compatible with MERCEDES-BENZ Axor and Axor 2 vehicles that share the same front-end lamp architecture. Defined in catalogues as a manual, left-hand-traffic lamp with E-mark compliant optics and supplied without bulbs, this unit accepts standard 24 V H4/H1 halogen light sources for dipped and main beam while integrating a dedicated fog section for improved visibility in poor weather.
The 9418205261 head lamp uses a robust housing and carefully profiled lens to follow the original styling of compatible MERCEDES-BENZ Actros and Axor cabs, ensuring that the right-hand lamp aligns smoothly with the bumper, grille and corner trims. Internal reflector geometry is tuned to provide a controlled dipped-beam cut-off, strong main-beam reach and a wide, low fog pattern when correctly aimed, helping long-haul and regional trucks maintain safe visibility during night operation, heavy rain or fog.
