Headlight Bulbs (Bi-Xenon headlamps)
I got an 05 W220 (Bi-Xenon headlamps) and im trying to find the headlight bulbs (not the Xenon ones but the regular hi beam and low beam bulbs) in a clear/teal/blue color so that they match the 6000k Xenon light color. The problem is I cannot find them anywhere. I can find the original bulbs in the ugly yellow hue but not a set of blue/white ones to match 6000k from the Xenons. Anybody know where I can find them? Also if you have pics of your car with them post them below! Thanx
Theres a pic of the ugly brown bulb next to the Xenons.

You need H7 bulbs. Problem is you won't find standard halogen bulbs coming close to your OEM xenon kelvin rating. Philips Diamond Vision is probably the closest, but to achieve that level temp, it sacrifices lumens. Don't believe the box on halogen bulbs if it advertises as 5000K-6000K. They might try to fake it with blue tint bulb film, but that'll fade over time.
If you want it done right, you'll want to do an HID conversion.

That's your bixenon bulb. H7 is your other inner large high beam bulb I thought you were asking about.
Looking at your pic, I think you're referring to your parking/city lights use a set of 194 wedge bulbs which we have white LED options for.
