NEED NEW HEADLIGHT BULBS?

I got new side marker bulbs and new parking light bulbs. 6000k 5w5 error free leds and they look great. I ordered 6000k halogen h7 bulbs and they dont match at all. Im sending them back. I want to get led high beam and low beam bulbs. Can someone link headlight bulbs so i can put them in. I like the 6000k led color look and im hoping the headlights will be around the same color.

for forward projecting lights, you're better off with an HID conversion kit. Due to LED surface mounted light spread, you'll end up with reduced throw distance and uneven lighting. HIDs have true 360 lighting that will be better captured. We carry top end Morimoto HID conversion kits if interested:

Of course, the best way of really dialing in the lighting will be to do a projector retrofit, but that's not a simple task compared to conversion.

Do the right thing and go for projectors!!!

I had a car behind me blind me yesterday with xenons in a halogen headlamp. I actually thought to myself "I hope it's not a W204 C-Class". Sadly it was.

That's how you know your model's generation is getting outdated. That and threads on plasti dipping and smoked taillights so dark you can't see them, etc.
