Another Lighting Question
Hey guys. I just traded in my wifes 2011 E350 for a 2012 C250 (the E was just too big for her). The E was fully loaded with P2, Lighting Package, etc... Now the wife is complaining that the headlights are too yellow and they dont match the LEDs. I have done some reading and I do not want to get into a HID kit (the C is a lease). I see some members recommend the phillips diamond vision and some recommend the phillips crystal vision but no one advises which one is a closer match to the stock LEDs. Any help would be appreciated in this matter. I am tired of hearing of these yellow lights.

Crystal Vision is less yellow, but still doesn't match the LEDs.
Diamind Vision is even less yellow (I am not sure if it is a perfect match or what) but sacrifices safety for color - it filters out too much of the light in order to make it so white/blue.
You cannot match the LEDs with any Halogens on the market without sacrificing light output and safety. Don't do it. Get the Crystal Vision and the AZN LED wedge bulbs to replace the yellow looking marker lights.
