Looks very nice. Are those the OEM eyelid lights? I am assuming you have the Xenon headlights from Mercedes. Are Fog lights stock and the yellow hue comes from the lamin-x?

Just get some silver or chrome header paint and give your existing bulbs a quick spray. Turn signals will still flash orange and no more egg yolk effect.

It's the same thing really. I brought mine from the dealer when I brought the car and swapped them out myself, but a lot of the members just sprayed their bulbs like AZN said.
