You can get them at pepboys 9006 bulb and a can of red spray paint. Then you can paint all your bulbs red.

Yo, $14 baller, you just don't get it. Your "theme" is illegal and dangerous to other drivers.

I'd say to go ahead and do it if you would only take yourself out as you became a nominee for the 2007 Darwin Award, but you'd probably only injure others. Stop it!

Good idea. Blind people so they can crash and die. If you get them, just make sure you focus them properly. Focus your headlights too. That's why those "peons" as you call them, keep flashing their headlights at you.

fluck that kid! you'll be the first one to have HID fogs! oh wait, nope. you should get bixenons before you get hid fogs...

if you REALLY want to be cool, why don't you try the red film that goes over your headlight and foglight lenses? www.stickercity.com

and, while you're at it, get some blue strobe lights too.

That is F-ing hillarious. What a moron. I wonder if painting the disks was done as a joke or someone actually did that because they did not know.

what are your opinons on fog light

just picked up my C280 4matic on last saturday.

so far..i LOVE IT ! !

now that i got new car im doing minor changes (like changing head light, fog lights bulbs)

i was gonna go with PIAA 4000k for both low beam and fog lights, but then it got me thinking that i might want PIAA ION YELLOW for the fog light.

what you guys prefer??

white / white or white / yellow???

I have to agree that white/white looks the best. I just installed my hid kit for my fogs two nights ago. Here's a pic to show the difference.

I personally went with Polarg Yellow bulbs in my fog lights. White on white looks nice, but the yellow is actually functional when you need them. I was tired of not seeing the road when it rains...Plus, I happen to like the look a lot.
