Better headlight options - Philips CV ?

After some research here and elsewhere, it sounds like Philips CV Ultra are a nice upgrade to the headlights to add a brighter, more white/bluish tint. And for $30 I'm willing to give it a shot. I found them on Amazon and plugged in my vehicle information and it says they won't fit my car, but I know others on here have posted they are using them.

So:

If you have used the Philips Crystal Vision Ultra in a C Class, can you tell what exact model you have? I see an H7 and an H11? Which is better? Are these a one size fits all cars?????

And overall - are you happy with them, did they last a long time?

I'm assuming the install process is pretty much super-easy?

Is this what I need? (Note that it says at the top of the page it won't fit)

H7 is what you need. You might want to order 2 sets. One set each for low and high beams so they match. Actually it's up to you if you want to set it up this way. This is how mine is set up and I'm pretty happy with them.
I wouldn't call the install process super-easy but it's not that difficult.
Good luck with the install.

Is there a specific model other than H7? If I pull it up on amazon it says it won't fit a 2012 C350? But maybe it will?

Check the manual and you'll see it's H7.
