Fog lights/eyebrow lights

I'm looking to match these lights to my stock HIDs. What type of bulbs would I need and what's a good place to source them, or what brands should I pick from?

This is for my '09 C63. In the owner's manual it says the fog lamps are H11 (55W) and the parking/standing lamps (eyebrow lamps?) are 2x W 5 W-BV...whatever the hell that means. I think the H11s are easy enough to find but what about the other?

Thanks!

Might've found the answer to my own question: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ront-w204.html
It looks like he's sold out of the "wedge" LEDs for the eyebrow lights though. Anyone know any place to get alternatives?

AZN is the best you can get.

Buy two sets of 5000k LEDs and your good to go.

Philips Diamond Vision for the fogs. The bulbs in my car are H7 so be sure to check yours before you order H11.

Interesting...wouldn't be the first time my owner's manual was wrong.

H11 is regular C-class.

H7 is C63.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm not sure why there isn't a separate AMG manual or at least a separate section in the C-class manual.

+1 for the Diamond Vision. I've tried a bunch of different bulbs (PIAA, Hoen, Silverstar Ultra et al) and the DV's still match up better than anything out there. Also AZN is worth waiting for...I wouldn't buy LED's from anyone else.

Changed my stock HIDs from 4,300K to 6,000K....MUCH better. Pure white. Then went about matching everything else. I would get the eyebrows from AZN since he is vendor here, but if you are in a rush, that type of bulb is sold by countless places all over the internet. Sidemarkers are cleared, with amber LEDs; Front turn signals are amber LED (you'll need resistors to prevent hyperflash); Fogs and high beams are Philips Diamond Vision. I tried LEDs in these positions but even the brightest are nowhere near as effective as the Philips. Highly recommend. Not sold in U.S., however. Had to get them online from the U.K.
