Just added PIAA h7 foglights, and im pretty impressed. Its cant be seen too clearly in these picks but its white.

Did you change the eyelid bulbs? Is it xtreme white plus H7?

What kalvin temp are those? I put in PIAA H7 4000K bulbs in my foglight and it looked exactly like stock, barely any change. So I'm thinking of ordering the 6000K PIAA to get a more whiteish color.

I actually just bought: PIAA Spark Blue 7500K H7 Bulbs for my fogs.

They should match my xenon's since I put in 6000K xenon's instead of the factory 4500K.

I'll post pics when I get them and have them installed. I just installed the PIAA eyelid bulbs today as well.

I have the xtreme white H7 fog and low beam. I threw in the 168 PIAA in the eyelids. I am very happy. All at once you wont notice much, but when you install 1 side at a time and compare the OE to the PIAA's you will see the difference.

I tryed that but didn't notice a difference when I had the OEM in the left and the PIAA 4000K in the right fog light. So I'll try the 7500 Super Blue PIAA and see how it looks. It would be nice to match the upgraded xenon's.

Looks good man.
I wanted to change my fogs too, but could not figure out how to access the bulb, as it's not in the manual.
Looking at your pic, you've removed the plastic trim and then I guess the bulb is just there. But can you please share how you actually removed that trim. Does it just need pulling with some force or are there some tools to use to pry it out?
Also, I have the cornering function on the fogs. Do you have that too and does it still work after the change? I was worried about that function and I suppose that's why the manual says to not change the fogs yourself but to take it to MB for that.

There 4700k Xtreme Plus. I havent gotten around to changing the eyebrow lights. There different from the regular halogens, it gives off a crisp white.

There are three screws holding each grill in, once you fully remove the screws, it wil just fall off. Twist the bulb out!

micropower99

Yea you basically unscrew the 3 screws that are holding the grill in (for each fog light section) and then reach your fingers behind the foglight and turn the bulb housing (white part not black part) clockwise to losen it and then pull it out.

Thanks. I'll give it a try tomorrow to remove the fogs.
I've changed my eyebrow lights - very easy to do. I've put in Philips Blue Vision, but to me, they are pretty much the same as the stock one - only very slightly brighter. I've even tried putting bright amber in the eyebrows to see the look

Mercster read this thread first re changing the fog light bulbs, its easier on the sport model than the luxury {elegance}.

Thanks ManchesterMerc for that link. I thought I must have been blind to miss 3 screws, as I looked around quite thouroughly to figure out how to remove the fog bulbs. Looks like on the luxury/elegance model, it has to be accessed from underneath the car by removing the protective cover. To much hassle in my humble opinion.
