Parents buying me Xenons. Stage 1 or 2
Since I completed my P&C and Brokers license tests and my Life and Health state exam, mom and dad are getting my real Xenons. Now my delema is Stage 1 or 2. I am pretty sure I am going to let a friend of mine who is a rep for hid4less get them for me to guard against slow shipping. I like the way the factory xenons look, but the purpulish hue given off by the stage 2 are amazing. I saw another set that are 8000K! But they are made by some company named Oslam or something like that. If it was Hella, or Phillips I wouldnt really mind. Now if I can get them to get some phillips vision plus for my fogs that would be great.

I believe Philips and Osram are the same company or share manufacturing facilities. FYI - Your original Headlight Bulbs are probably Osram.

Timmy - I thought you were pretty determined to get Stage I - what gives??? With purple light your Benz can be mistaken for an Audi

I know but that purple light just looks soo good IMHO. Lets see hmm, for the price difference in stage 1 and 2, I could maybe talk mom and dad into HIDs for the fogs. Well maybe not.
hey, If you set the car for xenon what happens to the fog lights. I assume they work because I havent heard any complaints yet. I guess if you enable xenon that it will accept 35w or 55w anywhere in car. But would HID really be sutible for fogs or would the Vision plus bulbs be better?

Get the stage II Hella HID Plus kit from www.importfan.com
They said they would sell them for $410 shipped and you have a choice of blue or purple. The kit is all Hella, ballasts and bulbs.

How can I get that price? The website says $599. I think I am going to go for the blue look, as to stay close to stock unless i can be swayed.

Tim, for best visibility with your fog lights in bad weather, use Philips WeatherVision bulbs. They are slightly yellow, which is best for low visibility conditions. Blue is the worst color for fog lights. Blue is color best reflected back to your eyes by water droplet, ice particles and snow.
