I'm still trying to decide between keeping frosted lens, buying facelifted halogen lamps, or projectors off ebay. and then theres always the oem xenon choice, but i'd prefer to avoid that expensive route

Kev, what exactly is the difference from the frosted lens to the clear lens with the silverstars, were you able to see? or did you change them at the same time. I'd like to know if I'd get a brighter light. Who knows, maybe I would just go for PIAA 9006s if they have them, lol

and i dont think its much of a performance difference, but a cosmetic difference when the car is off

Stock H7-Bulbs on my Fog Lights????
i Got aftermarket Bulbs (9006 H4 8000k. Blue tint glass) for my Fog Lights,
yesterday i went to my shop so they can replace the stock bulb with the after market bulb,
so as my shop took off the stock bulb from the passenger side 1st, it appeard to be a H7 Bulb
and the after market bulb woudnt fit in . i thought the place i got my aftermarket bulbs from, gave me the wrong one . but i was told that my
C class should have stock H4 bulbs
i also called up Mercedes and they told me the 2005 C class should have a
H4 stock, he said that it was weird that i had a H7 and he said to call him back when i can with the VIN number
i will post pictures when i go back home of the Bulbs. both bulbs look the same the only diffrence is that H7 ""stock bulb"" (wich is in my car)
is thicker from the after market bulb H4

i've been told that the H7 and H4 bulbs are the same except for the way the socket fits. some people on this forum have used their old H7 hid kits on their fogs when they upgrade to bixenons. (i'm considering to do it actually).
