Correct "white" C300 front parking/eyelid bulb
New to MB Forum..Searched and thought 194 Sylvania/Osram longlife was the way to go but color is yellow compared to other bulbs.. What would be the correct bulb number..2825?..don't want to go LED.

Thanks

194, T10, 2825, w5w.... Different designations for the same wedge bulb. There are no white non-led (halogen) bulbs. Some fake it with blue film, but the film will eventually deteriorate and flake off. Even then, those won't be pure white. LEDs are best option.

There are different lengths available. Our V5.2a units are shorter and don't touch the lens. Featuring the latest CREE XBD technology with integrated heat shielding:
