how would he know unless he's driving in another car while someone else drives his car toward him?

thats the thing i hate about hid's, so many of them blind oncoming traffic.

 

 

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.

 

nice! post the pics!

 

will do, they should be in either tomorrow or wednesday.

 

Very good decision, dawg! Only thing now is, your parking lights are gonna look very pale...LED time!...LOL.

 

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.

 

For the deal that they were giving, not really. Seriously, for what you paid you should've gotten bulbs only. You gotta base the amount on what you should've paid, not what you did pay...at least, that's what I try to convince myself of everytime I think about what I shelled out to get my rims...LOL.

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.

 

if anyone cares i just spent $17.14 on some PIAA Extreme White city lights yesterday.

 

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

 

It was an entire kit with fuses, wires, ballast, ingiters and bulbs. The GB is on the OTHER forum, and it is more than $199.00

 

I mean I would like to host one for this site if I may. My local shop gave me one heck of a deal for my H4 kit, it went to my honda.

The kit that I got was complete with harness, ballast/bult-in ignitor, and bulbs. is 6000K

Thanks

 

honestly, I doubt that this site would be too happy about it. the shop I got it from is a sponsor on the other site, and I don't think our mods would be too happy...

thanks though!

 

Just to let you know though, not all HID kits work for the Mercedes Benz as cleanly as these kits (no CELs, etc.)

 

Just went out and bought 9006 HID kit for my fogs do I need a load equalizer/stabilizer?

 

Well, I got the bulbs in yesterday and put them in a few minutes ago.

supposedly 6000k all around, but it doesn't look as perfect to me...

but, here's a pic, I'll take more pics tonight...

 

Awesome car

 

Depends on your kit.

 

Looks Very Good !! Are the Fogs More blue? I cant tell. They look perfect to me !!

 

Looks good!!!
