some pics. would be great, my hand fits in there, and i wiggle the back of it around, but it's not held in place with springs like the high beam is, and so i'm not sure what the mechanism for getting these bulbs out is, thanks a lot for the help

elchinocache

they are very hard to get out, make sure you have a good grip on them. i thought i was goin to break the thing when i took mine out. be strong and gentle at the same time

PsssTkiD

ok..hmm..i cant take pix rite now...it's too dark. maybe 2morrow

newayz...have u tried twisting it??....maybe 45 degree twist..it should come off...but when u pull it out...do it slowly so it wont get scratched

i think its kinda like how u take the side marker bulb by not taking the lense off....and just go behind it.

pull firmly. Don't yank the wire. It will come out.

thanks for the tips guys, i pulled on the little section of it that's cut away, it came out really smooth actually, i just had to see it from another angle and have some confidence that that's really how it comes out, thanks a ton~!

Just replaced headlights with Silverstars and now my parking lights do not match and have a more yellow hue to them. Is there a buld I can replace them with that will match better and where can I get them. Thanks.

i put silverstar headlights and turn signals in mine and i actually love that look of the low watt yellow parking lights next to the white silverstars.
what i would like is fog lights to match now. anyone know what bulbs they are and how to open the fogs to access the bulbs? manual says HB4 but I can't find any HB4 bulbs in any autoparts stores only H4 bulbs marked "for motorcycle use only" and I don't think they are the same as HB4?

are you talking about the city light? PIAA makes a white city light if thats what your talking about. im with ctC230K, i prefer the yellow hue in contrast to my Xenons. i changed my city lights to make them more white, but changed them back because the contrast looked better IMO.

ctC230K

i think he means the little 5 watt bulb on the sides of the high beam lamp housing

JohnCL

Not familiar with the HB4, but the fogs should be 9006 55W.

Yes, I think they are called city lights, they are right under the high beams. I spoke to the people @ http://www.performanceproducts.com/P...producttype=10
and they did not think they would work. What are people getting the Superwhite or the Platinum Superwhite? And do you need to add anything to fool it into thinking the wattage is the same?

CitronC230K_03

thats the city light.

I show the bulb being a W5W. (2001)

So, is there a whiter bulb and who sells it?

ctC230K

yeah that's what my manual says too but what kind of bulb number is that?? zee crazy germans... zay have zee weird numbers

JohnCL

W5W= 5W wedge bulb I believe.

CitronC230K_03

your right john. W5w = 5W

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/100721-keep-not-keep.html

ctC230K

nice pic.

For those in the US, "standing/parking light" = "city light" in Europe.

CitronC230K_03

never heard of the city light referred to as a parking or standing light. if anything i thought the parking light was the amber side marker.

Jim Banville

If you check your car's manual, you will find ZERO reference to anything called a "city light". People on this forum like to refer to the "standing/parking" lights as "city lights" so they can sound "European"

ctC230K

thanks

I got this from ebay (ship from Hong Kong). PIAA USA did not sell this 194 LED bulb here !
For some reason, it looks more blue on the picture !
