High bean & Fog bulb help
I got a 2008 C350 my headlight low bean are xenon white from factory,but the high bean and fog are regular yellow lights which I hate, I want to change the bulbs to the white to match the low bean but I don't want to do the HID convertion. So which light bulbs should I use,also color 4500k,5000k,6000k and where to get it,every suggestion will be appreciated.

Please search. Bean color has been discussed numerous times on MBWorld.

I just put Philips Crystal Vision in the highs ~ 4000-4300K but they still seem to have a yellow tint to them. May be better than stock but still not right. the Xenons are supposed to be 4300k but they still seem to be brighter white than the Philips. Maybe Philips Diamond Vision 5000k (?) if you can find them. You might start to lose output at that level and definitely if you go higher (I think) if you can find bulbs.

Soooo. First off. Do you have the P1 package or the P2 package? You mentioned that you have factory xenons, which are D1S bulbs (meaning you can't get an HID kit and you can only swap bulbs to 6000ks). If you misspoke and have the P1 package, you need H7 bulbs, which, in that case, you can throw on some Philips Diamond Visions on for a nice white/blue look.
