9438202261 head lamp is a left-front Xenon lighting unit suitable for MERCEDES-BENZ Actros MP2 and compatible with MERCEDES-BENZ Actros MP3 tractors and rigids operating in long-haul, regional and construction service. Described in catalogues as a manual-adjust, LHD Xenon lamp with E-mark style optics and supplied without bulbs, it is designed for use with 24 V Xenon systems and helps restore premium lighting performance on compatible heavy-duty vehicles after collision damage or ageing of the original lamp.

This 9438202261 head lamp combines a projector-style Xenon module for dipped beam with a reflector section for main beam and auxiliary functions, giving drivers of suitable MERCEDES-BENZ Actros MP2/MP3 trucks a bright, well-controlled light pattern when correctly aimed. The housing and lens follow the characteristic MP2/MP3 Actros front design so the lamp sits flush with bumper, grille and corner trims on the left side of the cab, maintaining a professional front-end appearance while delivering strong night-time visibility on highways and regional routes.
