C230 H7 replacments?
Does anyone know a good place to order from that ships to Canada, for H7 bulbs? I found a site that sells PIAA H7 Xtreme White Plus , but I want to know what it looks like before I try, or if possible, a blue tint one of those.

Check this site out and you will most likely change your mind and don't want bulbs with blue tint...

If you want white light, get an aftermarket HID kit, if you want more output, look for bulbs like OSRAM SS or Philips VisionPlus or X-treme Power

Or you get some halogens like PIAA and Nokya and don't match the color. Or you get some HID in those fogs, that's what I'd do. The extra price for a whole kit is not a whole lot!

you gotta know, the brighter it is for halogen, the hotter it is. careful, as it can potentially burn your housing running high wattage halogens! thats why companies went for HID - more light less heat.

really? I thought if you stick within the wattage (55w) in this case, no extra heat is generated.

yes thats right, but at 70watts it can potentially burn the housing, my yellow fogs at 70w burned through my lamin-x -_-
which is why i switched to 55watts HID's
