Cool New Lights

Guys, the fogs on a 2005 c240... are they 9006 or HB4 55 W? I want to drop HIDS for the fog but I do not know much on "HB4" I thought they were 9006.


Thanks a bunch...

Question

So is HB4 the same as 9006? I am looking at HID Kit 10K for the fog. Like the color output.

Thanks again!!!

the kit won't go inside the housing... just the HID bulbs...
FYI, i've seen several members w/ less expensive kits that flicker after install...

I bought a 10K kit from cqlight.ca for $200ish and just installed it without projectors or anything. The best investment ive ever made.

I didnt get the error message but they do flicker when the turn on but whatever doesnt bother me.

I would do fogs to but i kind of smashed one of them out on a sign so i decided against the single HID fog.

And my friend just picked up a 14K kit and put it on his 04 Explorer on 22s and its straight purple like not just a purple tint to it put purple. Its so funny watching people stare at him as he drives down the street. 5% all around so its all good.
