Rear dome uses a set of 194 wedge and a single 41mm festoon. We have that. For fogs, we carry Morimoto HID kits and also have Plasma H7 bulbs, although the plasmas will require additional load resistors.

Formally announcing that all our V3 units have not been adapted with Gel Packs. This is a high temp resistant gel substrate that we've applied to the resistor and critical solder joint to both help encapsulate the heat and insulate against heat soak, making these units more durable against heat and electrical surge related incidents.

I just picked up a pair of diamond vision h7's. How many sets of 5k w5w LEDs do I need to do the side markers and rest of headlights? Is it 2 or 3?

thanks for the info. I ordered 3x W5W 5k LEDs from your site. Heard they match the diamond vision's H7 fairly well!

V3 are most durable. The trade off is it's slightly less bright compared to V4. Still plenty bright enough though.

AZN. I ordered 3 pairs of w5w LEDs a bit ago and finally got around to installing them. Got the eyebrows done but had a rookie mistake losing one in the engine bay with no luck recovering so I'm short one doing my side markers now. I want to order a pair for my trunk lid too. Do you offer an oops discount or anything? I need a set and a 1/2 or maybe a discount on 2 sets?

You mean the low beams? If so, we do have Morimoto H7 HID kits available.

Technically no, even if you get away with it for your daily drive, you'll have to pull it for china's MOT inspection. We have the same issue here in SZ, luckily our car does mostly highway so we avoid hassle from the local "police".

Hello Mike,
What is the advantage / disadvantage of the plasma VS HID? I want the white look of HID 5000k for both my headlights and fog lights. I am looking for something reliable.


I am presently on halogens and I tried the rip offs Sylvania Silverstar but not happy with the color. (still yellowish)


Please note: I have converted my 2010 C350 to the 2014 C63 look but my headlights have some projector lens (aftermarket headlights) Also not to confuse anyone I have the C63 LED daylight strip but also my original fog lights which I have installed behind the front grill in the center.


Thanks for the info!

For any light you rely on for forward projecting visibility, definitely want HIDs. LEDs are more for indication type lighting unless the housing was specifically designed to project LED light spread. So for your headlights, fore sure go HIDs. Fogs, you can either go HIDs or LEDs as you're not relying on those to illuminate. HIDs will look brighter and do a better job filling out the reflector, but the LEDs aren't slacking too much either. We wanted to offer a more cost effective fog option for our customers which is why we came out with these plasma LED units.

OK I understand. Also since my wife always drive the car with the fog lights «on» it could be a good idea to use the LED not to blind the oncoming trafic I guess. Are your plasma LED error free or do we need a capacitor?


Thank you.

Typically because of how low the fogs are to the ground and not directed up, you're not going to blind oncoming traffic with HID fogs.

The plasma LEDs come with the required Morimoto external load resistors to tap in and eliminate codes.
