2002 c240
2002 c240 daytime bulb

I just put in 6000k xenon bulbs (not HID) into my stock headlights and after i installed one pair of H7 highbeam bulbs and one pair of low beams i realized that the 2002 w203's have a third daytime bulb. i checked it out and have no clue what size bulb that is. does anyone know what size the daytime bulb is?

right now i really wanna get a new pair of the daytimes cause it looks really stupid with the Xenon low beam and the ugly yellow daytime ruining it.

im gonna post some pics up in a few hours, my cam is out of commission so i gotta get me gfs

Where could I find such information ?

Is @ Home
It should say on the bulb itself and/or the car's manual. But its 168 (brighter but less life) or you can use 194 (dimmer but longer bulb life).
