Headlights
Hi, trasades my w212 for a w204 yesterday. Love everything with this car except for the headlights.
oddly enough they are simple halogen-bulbs so my question is what I should do about them.
appearently in Sweden, xenon-converting is basically impossible it seems to get em legal. So I guess its either LED-bulbs(also not legal in the dipped) or brighter/white halogen bulbs and in that case what bulbs do you recommend?

Problem is Diamond Vision aren't street legal as they have low lumen with the blue film. They're the whitest halogen bulbs though because of this. It is easy to install, but if you want whiter and brighter, HID conversion is the way to go.

Agreed with this. You'll get an even whiter light (5000k+) than the blue tinted halogens, and the light output will be very useful. Ran AZN Optics H7 morimoto kit for about 2 years before I retrofitted my headlights with different projectors
