Made up my mind! 10000k hid?!? ultra blue eyelids, sidemarkers

Okay so i decided to go with the true blue color and from a previous post someone had sent me a link on to bulbs to change the eyelids and the sidemarker bulbs. If i am correct i need to order 3 in total which is 6 bulb. (2) for the side markers and (4) for the eyelids. I wanted to go for the ULTRA BLUE.

http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Canbus-Euro..._t10_sku26.htm

Also I heard that the promax kit is an error free hid kit. If i was to order the h7 kit would this be compatible to the car? Also 10000k will match the ULTRA BLUE eyelids and sidemarkers? Has anyone done this before or used 10000k on a w204?

You realize you are driving a Mercedes and not a rice burner right?

No, I haven't. My Polarg hyperwhite interior lights have the slightest hint of blue, but that's about it..

8000k seems good for the bluish look. 10000k is more purple than blue. Lol. Shai I hope you're not in California. You'd be making your car a bright LED lit "PULL ME OVER" sign. But don't let people flame you. It's your car, you bought it, and you should be able to do what you want with it.

On a quick side note, use these http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Canbus-Euro..._t10_sku27.htm for your side markers, the other ones might not fit.

hahaha thanks i appreciate that I actually did alot of things people have flamed about but i really like it like the satin black hood roof and trunk. 8000k seems reasonable and not too much and yes i do live in california! lol but good point. My question was basically if anyone had pics of 8000k lights on a w204 and if the promax kit is plug n play?

You lose a LOT of lumens past 6000K. 8000K is very noticably blue and 10000K is outright annoying.

I'm sure AZN uses 8000k lights. His seem to be the perfect shade of blue. And I THINK but I'm not 100% sure he uses the Promax ones, and I recall him saying that the drop in light output isn't QUITE noticeable, but if you're a safe/skilled driver, a small drop shouldn't matter. Either way you won't be down to the level of mere halogen lights on an old civic or anything thanks to projectors Actually if you go with 8k lights and blue sidemarkers, you really should take a look at AZN's pictures. I recall seeing his blue (when lit) sidemarkers and they look amazing. Personally I wouldn't risk the chance of being pulled over for them but they look HOTTTTT.

I think it's the blue you have linked. The ones from this https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ngel-eyes.html thread right? I don't remember the thread with his headlights on though. Maybe their in his profile albums. Try looking there.

I like white for the light output. I really think I'm gonna buy these for the eyelids and the side markers, but do you know if we can use them for the fogs?

I'd just do 8000k lows and fogs and ultra blue eyelids and sidemarkers then. Seems to meet your aesthetic needs without overdoing it.

LED fogs aren't unheard of, but I'd just go with a 35w kit from DDMtuning.

LED fogs can be purchased from a manufacturer called BlanBallen. Never tried using them on our cars but then my cousin used it on his Lexus IS350.

Correct snarlingchicken... 8000K promax kit. It's only got a slight bluish glint to it, not nearly as ricer out. ShaiMalka, if you're anywhere in socal, you can come out to one of our weekly meets and check it out. My photos will NOT give you a good real world idea the exact shading (despite my best efforts) as I don't have the proper equipment to properly catch the light shade.

Didn't I say you had (or said I thought you had rather) a 8000k promax kit? Unless you were correcting that 8k instead of 8000k typo I made up there.

Hmm..i have 6000k bulbs and I think they're the perfect color. Any bluer would look odd imo.
