update: so I contacted Carlab... they were going to overnight me the correct foglight bulbs, but I offered to pay extra for them to send me matching 6000k bulbs.
I searched and searched and was somewhat hesitant about switching my stock bix bulbs from 4300k to 6000k, but Darwin said that he guaranteed that if I wasn't happy I could return the bulbs and they would send me the 4300k for the fogs.
they also said they're giving it to me below cost because of the mistake.
so, I'll have 6000k all around now (not the Philips, but Carlab's brand).
we'll see how it looks.

DAMN!!!!!I do like the way the park lights look, the contrast is pretty cool. But, I said that about the fogs too, and look at them now...
I just spent waaaaaay too much money on lighting over the past two weeks.

I always think, "I just spent $$$ on those things..." And 2nd thought is, "Well, considering how much they are listed for and what they will look like once they're on...it was worth it."...Hahahaha.

Wow nice, did you need to install any resistors or just plug and play?
Sorry not trying to steal this thread, but who do I talk to about a GB for HID fogs? I got mines for 199.00 complete
Point me in the right direction
Thanks
Ed

supposedly 6000k all around, but it doesn't look as perfect to me...
but, here's a pic, I'll take more pics tonight...

I really regret putting in new bix bulbs... I was able to put in the fogs, but in a simple task of changing bix bulbs, I managed to **** up my connector: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/134909-help-messed-up-bix-connector.html
