I wouldn't touch EURODEZIGNS ever again. We tried that crap on my family's old Lexus and the lighting was WAAAAAAAAAY worse than the stock Halogens. They looked ok, but in terms of night vision, they were terrible.
I say if you're gonna change your halogens, go with Silverstars.

funny you should say that. I had silverstars and changed them to eurodezigns...love them. silver stars just didnt do it for me. but i guess it depends on what you like....as far as vision..I get better from euro. (dont know why you dont, but silverstars were pretty nice, but over priced for quality.) i have them just in case i need one later.

2005 C230 Sedan 6spd
I got SilverStars for fogs and low beam. Autozone had them on sale for $37 dollars a set and $5 mail in rebate. so I got two sets at $32 per set.
Osram Silverstars for High Beam (less white but brighter)
Had them for about a year, no problem. Color is pretty white compared to regular bulbs but definitly no where near HID. I would try PIAA but they are just too expansive at $80 a pair. Just not worth it.
so in short SilverStars +1

2005 C230K Sport Sedan, 6 speed manual
I tried Silverstars a couple years ago (in another car), and could never get more than a few months of service before they burned out. After replacing them a few times, I finally switched to PIAA bulbs. Definitely more expensive, but no problems with burning out.
