Hey guyz, I just got my 2012 C-class without lighting package..

As some of you already know it came with really ugly headlight..

but at this moment, I'm trying to put the fluence on me that it is

pretty....

And I at least wants to change bulbs on them....


ok! let's cut this to the chase. I saw the manual figured out high and low

beam comes with h7 55 watt bulbs. Can I buy 'aznoptics' h7 HID

Kit 5000k (http://aznoptics.com/index.php?main_...products_id=10) to

replace original one even tho it has a different wattage?
(original one is 55 w and aznoptics one is 35 w)

and also which bulbs should I use for the parking lamp?

in the manual it says it is using w 5 w bulb...

any suggestion please? </B></B>

If you get a chance, can you snap a picture of your headlights. I havent seen pictures of the stock headlights yet and none can be found on mbusa. thanks

I dont think the wattage mattters if you get an error you can A. but error cancelers or B. go to the dealership and have them cancel the error message by progaming your car to hav "Hid"

here is headlight of 2012 c-class.

They're not as pretty as the projector lights, but in the close up you just posted, they definitely don't look ugly.

jamesr2

thank you you just gave me a confidence of my car !

JaCe88

Agreed with ucfbeta92- I don't think it looks that bad.

ucfbeta92

My pleasure And I forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS ON A BRAND-SPANKING-NEW-BENZ! Let us know how you like your new car as you break it in, and don't forget to share lots of pictures.

Yea, I rmb my dad seeing the pictures on the seller's guide, and he actually likes the non-xenon one more. Doesn't look too bad to me either. (In fact, I'm not a big fan of that "C" shape LED light myself.) Though yes I got the bi-xenon package anyway.

denot

Agreed with Jeff, but I still think his headlight looks better

jasonch

When you drive a car, you're sitting inside it anyway! Can't see the exterior when you're driving it around!

The headlights look fine and dandy, it's the WHOLE car that counts!

denot

yup, it doesnt matter if the wheels are badly scratched, doors are dented, bird poo all over the roof and bonnet. You will not see them when you're driving it around anyway...

jokez jokez :p

DOOLA

i plan on doin a quick fix with maybe some Silverstars headlights...a lil brighter and whiter...cheap fix perhaps

victort

please don't put HIDs without retrofitting hid projectors. your lights just going to scatter everywhere and blind people

Get some Philips Crystal or Diamond Vision H7. They work better than those Sylvania Silver or Ultras.

DOOLA

Good to know...i didnt know that...I guess the 2012 takes a H7 bulb will check when i get car on Wed...

Hi. Did u change your light bulbs already. I also bought my 2012 c300 6 weeks ago. Im planning to change my lightbulbs too

DOOLA

no not yet..barly have even driven it.. Anybody else change out the bulbs?? i see them on Amazon...for like 26 bucks

Mencomenx

what brand on Amazon? thanks for the reply

dcjwlee

And hopefully they last longer!

I used to use silverstars on my old e320. Worst. Idea. Ever. So not worth replacing bulbs every three months ESPECIALLY considering the fact I was doing a LOT of night driving.

Ron Jr

Yes the Silverstars suck, I have been using Hellas in Darth V2 nad have been pretty happy.

DOOLA

most recommend H7 x treme power headlight bulb..gonna try them

Heerz

I also got my new benz a few weeks ago but did not get the xenon lights package..I think the halogen and led mix kinda kills the beauty of my ride. Any good suggestions? I would like to do something to it but don't want to mess with my warranty.

Mencomenx

is it gonna mess up the warranty if we only change the light bulb? not HID's

DOOLA

changing bulbs will NOT mess up a warranty..takes 5 minutes to change..and u can always change them back
