Fog light clarification

I'm looking to replace my foglight bulbs to match my HID's.

I just need clarification as to whether my 2007 uses HB4(9006) bulbs or H7's in the fogs. The manual lists different bulbs for "corner illuminating" fog lamps and front fog lamps.

To note my car came with halogen headlights stock, and is a 2007 C280 4matic.

I believe they're HB4 (9006) for both Sport and Luxury fog lights. If you really want to verify, you can pull the old bulb and check.

I've stopped trusting manuals after I had to make my own harness for my aux in thanks to the 07's different wiring.

I'll pull the bulb out tomorrow. I wanted to avoid taking out the bulbs without putting something else in in this weather.

Thanks anyway guys!

To check, pull the passenger side bulb! You can just reach down from inside the engine bay and reach it. Driver's side is a PITA.

I wish I could help you, but mine have been perfectly adjusted since purchase and I have no idea how to move them about.

There should be an adjustment hole to the inner side of each fog light. You need a pretty long philips head screwdriver to adjust. The outside housing will not move, but the lens on the inside should move up and down.
