What headlight bulb to match fog light color
2013 c250 sedan...
I wanted to swap out my headlight bulbs to something that matched the fog light strip color temperature. I'm not sure if I have to stay halogen or I need to swap over to LED bulbs. I saw a video online that said what halogen bulb to use, but they did not show the headlights on with the fog lights on, so I'm not sure if they actually matched or not. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

That's kind of what I was thinking with needing led bulbs. Would swapping to the led bulbs have any type of problems on the car, electronics, anything else weird?
I found the video where the guy said these halogen bulbs are supposed to match. They are Philips diamond vision h7 55w halogen bulbs.

In my opinion, no Phillips Diamond Vision don’t match. I have them in my C250 and they are white, but not bluish like the LED bar. Sylvania sells a 6000k LED H7 bulb, but it’s listed as off-road or motor sports only.
Be sure that any LEDs are CANBUS compatible (shunt resistor included) or an error will be shown in the instrument cluster to check left, right, or both headlamps.
