I am wondering if I use the regular titanium bulbs for both low beam and fog light and turn them on the same time when I drive at night, does it have enough light output?
its not green, it just looks like it in the picture, its still white just not as white as the regular titanium. if you used both your low beam and fogs with the regular bulb, that should be fine.

I'm seriously considering buying the Krypton Titaniums - can those of you who have the titaniums or krypton titaniums please tell me - how much blue do these lights have?

Do they look 'ricy' at all? Because that would be a major disappointment for me.

They look great in the pics, but it's really hard to get an accurate photo depicting the true color of a light

there's really no blue at all. more of a pure white.

If anyone is thinking about getting these bulbs, DON'T!! I'm not too happy with the light output of them. Even though they claim to be 70 (or 80?) watts, they are not as bright as the stock bulbs.

Thinking about being daring and trying some 100w ones next

Don't do it!
The 100W bulbs can run hotter and damage the factory wire harness. I was told that this harness runs all the way to the trunk and costs over a grand to replace (not including labor) and of course MB will try to void your electrical warranty if damage occurs. NOT worth it in my opinion.

After trying out various bulbs (5000k-5500k), decided to go with the SilverStars. The whiter light output of some of the other bulbs just didn't shine bright enough at night. The Silverstars are more towards the color of the stock bulbs but noticably brighter (4000k).

Can anyone vouch on how the Hoen xenonmatch compare to the luminics titanium white?
The luminics seem to be sold out @ automotivelightingusa.com.
Everywere else the luminics luminics are more expensive, while hoen are cheaper.

I bought mine directly from the manufacturer:
http://www.luminicsusa.com/

I have the Krypton Series Titanium White and it matches perfectly with my bi-xenons. It is very bright without resorting to a higher wattage and color is pure crisp white, not blue. I am really happy with them.

Wow those are nicee but there is one thing thats kinda keeping me from trying it out. I went to the MB dealership and I was talking to one of the mechanics about switching my lights to xenons or maybe buying xenon lighting and he said that it would probably mess up all the lighting in the front (which would void the warranty lol). He said if anything, I should just look for the shells for the bulb so I am not actually switching the light itself. How do the ones you have work and you don't have any problems with it right? Help me out!

These bulbs aren't xenon bulbs..they're halogen bulbs that are tinted to look like xenons. They won't void any warrantys

Nope. All you're changing is the bulb color..it's still the same halogen light.

I heard white light reduces your sight much in rainy conditions. With xenon this is compensated because the are much brighter. I don't think I want to mess with safety.
They look goog although. I consider to try them for headlight beams.

I've changed my eyelids to LEDs since that picture which i like better since it's much more bright. I dont recall the brand of the LED, but it was an off brand from ebay.

If anyone is looking for 194 WHITE LEDs for their eyelids. PM for a price from my lighting vender.



The bulb is made up of a quality plastic connector to slide right into the plug, as well as high durability terminals. A load resistor is embedded to prevent blowing the LED from voltage surge, and a diode is implanted to protect the LED from reverse polarity. The LED is wired for 12v operation, the kind found on all vehicles.
