I was reading on another forum (also W204) that installing HID into your fog lights will be give "scattered" lighting:

"The other thing I did not like about my fogs was that they are halogen housings and the HID light scatters everywhere and would light up the faces on cars I was passing until there were completely behind the fog light. The bulb sticks out all the way to the glass and has nothing in front of the arc to help "project the light in a specific direction."

can anybody comment on this? planning to get some but not if i have to turn them on and off to prevent blinding oncoming traffic

Hack job... just my opinion... I install kits professionally and I hate seeing people half A** things

Might be old news but MTEC now offers their "special H7" bulb (see pic)

So in case you can't see it in the picture, this bulb is a direct swap. Much cleaner and OEM looking then OP's setup.

I am in the process of installing fog HIDs and retrofitting lowbeam HIDs, so will take more (and better) pictures later on. Still waiting for a new headlight covers to come in so I can keep OEM ones in case I need to go stock.

Do you have a link for the MTEC kit with the connector. Thanks

First, Frnakito71 discovers HID fog light adapters that only require cutting off a small tab off each adapter. Now, there's bulbs there's bulbs with the housing built in? This is getting interesting.

Here's the link for the adapters. You can see Frnakito71's review at the bottom!

I hate to sound like I am advertising MTEC, I AM NOT.

I bought it on ebay, I won't post ebay links because they tend to expire.

The ebay store name is mtecpower. I have contacted them asking what is the difference between their $220 kits and $300 kits that they market as MB specific, they said that $300 kits have special ballasts that cancel out "bulb out" error. So if you do get MTEC get the ones they advertise as MB specific. Also don't forget to mention the "AMG foglight bulb"

Also you can do a Best Offer and save on shipping, they won't accept anything lower then that, just don't hit Buy Now button, save few bucks.

It looks like www.onspire.com is their website but they don't sell from there.

The person I dealt with was Steve and his email is steve@onspire.com.

When I installed my hid fogs, I was in a hurry. I half assed it like "Stone2486" said.

The pics are not up anymore because the OP may have deleted them from the hosting site. This thread is pretty old if you guys bother looking at the original post date.

Henry G A
