Anyone running these??
I've been looking around the internet and found these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OSRAM-H7-BIL...5f5e12&vxp=mtr

are there any members here that are running these in their W204s? What's your take on it??

I would be careful with higher wattage bulbs. If they overheat and melt the harness- you are screwed.

Yes, our halogen bulbs are 12v 55w. The product in the ebay store however is 12v 65W so they would not work.

mfkl2, if you want to run something that is brighter but don't want to get HIDs then I would run philips diamond vision or philips crystal vision.

I've tried almost every high performance halogens. PIAAs, sylvania, Osram night breakers, Philips etc...and nothing seems to satisfy me. my fault for not getting Bi-xenons...idk i guess its just my stubborness thats getting to me. I'm just worried that indeed those 65w bulbs will melt my harness which will be a PITA...seems like everyone is against it so I'll scratch this one out. thanks guys!
