I am looking for some E63 round fog lights. I know the depo's are about $150 on eBay, but want the hella's. I remember a while back somebody posted you could buy them on pelicanparts.com for like $75 each, but I cannot find that price. Any help?

OEM is going to be rape, alternatively you can use the Depo brand ones from Ebay for about $140 for the pair.

That is what I was about to do until somebody said they were not nearly as good as the oem hella's, but I find that difficult to believe. I have the depo tail lights and have ordered some of their parts in the past and they were pretty good. What do you think?

mikey33

I do not want to flatter myself, but damn I am good! Found the oem Hella fog lights for $64 each!!!!! This is the Mercedes OEM part # 2308200556 and you can get it at pelicanparts.com.

Please make a diy for the E63 conversion so I can follow it

tbal

There are a few DIY's kickin around...

Mikey where did you find them?

I believe that someone who posted them was me. I had to reorder another 2 weeks after doing my conversion after a rock on the highway (or someone with a deathwish) completely broke the glass on my front left. Its these, I love em: http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...8Code%20772%29

E55Dimon

Man, you're gonna love the look of HID's in these hellas.. so sick.

mikey33

Pelicanparts.com and you need to order 2 of them. The left and right fog light use the same part #'s.

mikey33

Yup exactly! I have the HID's in my current fog lights so I will just swap them into the new round housing when I put the bumper on.

E55Dimon

Yep, I had 6k's in my e55 bumper and still run 6k in the new ones and months later they are crystal clear.

Damn. Looks like both fog lights on my '08 E63 have taken rocks and are seriously cracked. Was in for the C service and dealer gave me a quote for $675 (+tax!) . How easy are these to swap out at home?

Outrageous dealers! Probably take u 20min to change both. Very easy DIY!

Is this fog light the same as part #209-820-08-56 ?

Can I order from the above link instead of purchasing part #209-820-08-56 which is what the various e63 parts list states is the fog light?

E55Dimon

Yes. It's a Hella foglight too so it's nicer than Depo.

daniel3ooo

Cool thanks! That saves me about about $100

BTW, is parts.com the cheapest place to get the rest of the E63 conversion parts? I already have the front bumper..

E55Dimon

No prob. Congrats on your purchase of the white one btw.
Parts.com seems to be the place yep, the parts are hard to come by elsewhere..

Justy ordered a couple. The right one is well cracked.

Thanks for the link!

As these are not HID, what bulbs are people running?

Also, came across these, given the price, doubt quality is high, figure I would share in case someone is looking for angel eye fogs.

What do you guys think would be the closest matched HID's to the Bi Xenon's?

citylightva

Did these come with the chrome ring..? Nice find guys.!! I think I paid almost $600 when a flip up shattered my driver side and the plastic mesh...funked up my temperature sensor too...

ANOTHER FAIL OF THE MIXED E55/E63 FORUM.

I GOT THE REPLACEMENTS AND THEY ARE THE WRONG THING. WHY? Because E55 guys don't have E63s. Citylightva do not order.

Now I gotta deal with a return. I will post some pictures later.

Note that the removal is easy. Start by removing the 3 torx screws in the plastic panel. Pull the panel and then remove the 4 torx screws on the mounting plate of the lens housing.

Edit:
Here are the correct housings.

If it was the right part, you would be right. Would you like to buy the two I have now I can not use.

daniel3ooo

What?? I used the link above for my e63 conversion..its in the shop now..I hope its the right part..??

Jon2007E63P30

So here is the deal. If the wiring harness is different that a stock e63 it might work. The mounting screws will line up. Not sure if there is enough space behind the plastic grill for it to fit.

Pictures shortly.
