The bi-xenon high beams use both the projector lamp in the large oval and the regular H7 bulb in the small oval.

How come the fog lights don't match in color with the low beams?

The fog lights are yellowish because they are halogens. Yellow lights are far better for seeing in fog, so I doubt that MB will put bluer bulbs in the fog lights.

thanks guys, yup, i really like them. sorry the pics of the brights are so blurry. i had the camera sitting on a table for the dims with the camera timer on but for the brights, i was holding the camera so it was shaky and blurry.

From your pics your bi-xenons emits greenish white light, is that because of the camera? cos my bi-xenons are still yellowish white. I like the lights from your bi-xenons

Left stock headlights, right bi-xenons

No, you can't. Well actually you probably could, but you would be blinding on-coming traffic. The fluted lenses control the light pattern. Without them, the fogs are just flood lights. They will blind everyone else, and will blind you if used in actual fog, rain or snow.

If you want the clear fog lights, please buy the entire fog light assembly. The new fog lights use the reflector to control the beam pattern.
