Xenon foglights...
I know everyone out there likes pictures!... so I took a couple of the box where the HID kit came in.
The bulbs are 9006 and those are the same on the standard Hallogen bulb on the C32...

i do believe the color of xenon lights would defeat the purpose of foglights, but they still look cool. im thinking baout buying yellow bulbs for my fogs. like the ones i had on my 300CD and 300D.

Foglights
Mr. HITMAN, Mr. W0n6_3d4n, Mr. CitronC230K_03:
The fog lights, as foglights actually have a remarkable work... though living in the area where I live, are rarely used.
HIDs were first used actually on All terrain vehicles only... in the last past few years HID's finally became legal, therefore available for road use.

Re: Re: Foglights
You dont want to have bright fogs and a yellow shade is better. The bright light of the xenon will bounce of the water particals in the fog and make it harder to see. Just like they tell you to never turn your highbeams on in fog.
I actually need my fogs in the hill country because there is alot of fog, and there arnt any street lights.

i wouldnt think so, as the HID fog isnt an option. im curious as to if there were any reuirements for bulb out warning for the lower wattage requirements of the HID's.

W203 Xenon foglights..
Mr. eason:
Answer: No. You do not need to reprogram when you upgrade to Xenon foglights. (you do have to have some ECu programming if you were upgrading headlamps from Hallogen to Bi-Xenon)
Thank you!
Cheers!
