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!!!

Also last but not least, Can the HID kit go in the normal housing? for the headlights I do not need projectors? Hope not just purchased the below kit for $179.00... Little bday present....

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.
