xenon replacement
hi guys,
i am thinking of replace my bi xenon light bulbs as well as the city light bulb for w203.
i searched on the forum. and seems like
PIAA Platinum Super White Bulbs are the good choice to match the color of the xenon. http://www.brandsport.com/pih4supwhitp.html
and i am not certain what to get for the xenon bulb. i like the whitish color. but i want it to be brighter or whiter. any recommended bulb for it?
will the PIAA bulb work for the city light?
and the bulb replace is simply take out the bulb right? or do i have to have someone do it for me?

The lighting color issue has been discussed numerous times. Someone was even kind enough to post a link explaining the different K factors and how they affect the perceived light. Put down the chunky Campbells and STFF.

Painting the rear lights will be alright, but painting the rest is a bad idea. I almost got pulled over today by a cop because he spotted me with a hyperwhite turn signal at the intersection.
