Advice on LED and HID upgrades

Hi, I am new here and wanted to do an HID upgrade to my fog lamps..does anybody have a link to a DIY guide on replacing the bulbs in the fog light housings(as well as an HID upgrade for the fog lights). In addition, for the sidemarkers, I am ordering clear lenses on ebay, they are depo brand. Are there better quality ones available or is depo the only choice?

Also, I wanted to do an LED upgrade to my c300. I want to know what kind of LED bulb goes in the eyelids and sidemarkers. I am also set on getting an interior LED kit from ijdmtoy, unless somebody can provide me with a cheaper means of getting the interior LED upgrade done.

Welcome to the forums Royal77

Like what the rest of the members said... Try using the search function located on the right upper hand of the forum page, The topics you were inquiring has been discussed numerous times

But to get you started at least let me point you to the right direction:

For your HID upgrade needs... ddmtuning is a widely used HID upgrade, There are also MTEc and Promax

For sidemarkers... Ebay, you can either get them in clear or smoked

For all your LED inquiries... Try looking up AZN Optics (Mike's) thread to answer all your LED lighting needs... It has been used by most members including myself and I can personally vouch for it's quality

Again welcome

This is my uncles original post..lol we worked on the benz today! Looks good!

Note to people planning to replace fog lamps and sidemarkers!

DO NOT remove the entire bumper, saw many posts on here saying that you should take off the bumper...I was able to replace both sidemarkers and the fog lights by just pulling back the fender lining

On to the pictures

Yeah, I was able to do the same exact thing. In fact, I was able to replace my foglight entirely from the front of the vehicle by only removing the mesh surround.
