I feel they are about the same as stock, no worse. Nothing like a real HID kit but they look good.

Rivalrider, can you please post some close up pictures of your fogs? I'm curious to see if they reflect blue in the daytime.

thanks

They do but it's not really noticeable. I'll post up pics of mine soon. I have no idea why I can't upload my pics now.

EDIT: Pics are up now.

Sport models use H7 bulbs in the fogs. Luxury models use the H11s

I just placed an order for 3 sets to I-Pmart. Once I get them, I will install on one side, to see how they compare to the Crystal Visions. I will also snap pictures of before and after.

I apologize for hijacking this post, but since there where a number of people asking the same thing, I figured I would post my comparison and results. I received and installed my Diamond Vision today. Below are some pictures.

They look much better in person, but I can say that I am very happy now. All lightbulbs where changed including the high beams. I will be ordering another set to keep as spare.

Rivalrider, that C looks awesome.

Looks good. The diamond vision are a much better color. You are right though, they look much better in person. If I get a chance soon I will try to get a picture of mine with my Nikon, not the iphone.

Just put on a pair of these Diamond Visions on my car. Originally I had swapped out the stock Halogens for Sylvania Silverstar Ultras...man what garbage-- it's weird how so many people recommended them. They were basically the same temp./color as stock but the light cast was uneven (bought two sets since I thought the first was faulty) resulting in low visibility. After putting in the Diamond Visions tonight it seems like the output went back to stock, so that's good, and they definitely look sharp--clean white. The only thing now is to wait and see how long they last, hopefully a year or so would be fine with me--bought an extra set as back-up.

Thanks for filling me on the polargs as well, Rivalrider

Rivalrider.
You said I put the hyper white bulbs in the eyebrows. Which bulbs did you put in?
where did you find the bulbs? I mean eyebrows bulbs.
where did you find clear side markers? Did you change bulbs in side markers too?

The bulbs in the eyebrows and side marker lights are from here:

They are Polarg M4's

I got the side marker lights on ebay as well:

Thank you Rivalrider.
Can I ask another question?
This is my first time to install the light.
I really do not know how to install the fog light.
I looked around a lot of thread, so I found this thread.

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w204/297654-diy-hid-fog-light-installation-without-cutting-oem-bulb-holder-ddm-tuning-hid-kit.html

However, it is not a simple thing.
Do I need to take the bumper off?
How did you install the fog light?
thank you.

It looks like you have a sport model so the foglights come off in a few bolts. Check your manual for instructions.
