Very nice! Do you have to change the ballast when you change the OEM bulb to 6600k aftermarket bulb?

You can run any bulb kelvin you wish whether it be 4400K or 12000K. The ballast has nothing to do with it. Just remember that kelvin rating only ='s color not light output. although I personally run 10000K since the violet color acts as sort of a black light making anything white or yellow on the road to "glow" and there for allows me to see much further than the brighter light output of a 6000K bulb. Just reference for you...

Does anyone have the #'s of the bulbs for an 06 230 Sport? I want to change out my headlight bulbs for brighter ones. I want to do PIAA also but they don't list my year car on there site.

nice i also couldnt stand the stock yellowish halogens nemore. I changed everything to Eurolite and i'm pretty impressed very white. I changed my fogs to Piaa Extreme white plus. I love the look of the bulbs even during the day b/c the headlights look blue from the reflection of the bulbs. I also did Piaa turn signals and used cheap hyperwhite bulbs for the reverse lights no more eggyolk effect! Btw are white signals illegal in NY???? i think they are just wanted to check

Nice! I got the Tein Coilover as well, Super Street. I believe you can go lower in the front but the Yokahama tires will rub against the Coilover. By any chance, is yours at the lowest setting in the front?

I know this because I have the exact same tires with C32 AMG Wheels. These tires prevents me setting the Tein CO at the lowest settings in the front.

NICE job.
