2012 C300 Sport
Question 2012 w204 Low beam Bulb


Hello Everyone,

I'm looking to replace the stock (yellowish) halogen low beam bulbs in my 2012 C300 sport (image attached). I really want a white/ blue look, something close to the LED stripe that i have on my running lights. I want to avoid installing a HID kit so i am wondering if anyone recommends any H7 bulbs that are the quality and color I'm looking for?

thanks,
Ronak Amin

See if you can find a OWL H7 led conversion kit, works well with reflectors.

Otherwise, the best bulb you can get and get whiter light while not sacrificing your light output, is the OSRAM Cool Blue Intense. They claim it gives "up to 4200k".

From what I've seen no halogen bulb can match the color and appearance of Xenon or LED lights.

That's correct. The closest you will get is the 4200k from the Osram CBI, without getting sh*tty light output.
