*PICS* C32 Bi-Xenon & Clear Fogs Installed

Here are the pics I took last night after my bi-xenon & fog install. I also took pics w/ my Viper to show the difference between 6000K HID/Xenon (Viper headlights & fogs) and the 8000K (C32 headlights). You can see a pretty big "bluish" difference in the pics. Anyway, enjoy...

Cool sideways pic of the bi-xenon & clear fogs...

CL grill, bi-Xenon, and clear fogs...

HRE 547's...

Bi-Xenon 8000K w/ PIAA Spark Blue Fogs (they look white vs. 8000K)...

My GTS w/ 6000K headlights & fogs vs. My C32 w/ 8000K headlights...

My favorite pic...

The 8000K looks too blue for my taste. Can you take a close up pic of the foglights? The lens dont look as Oval as the CLK55 ones. Just want to double check.....

Those look awesome. Only reason I won't get 8000K's are because I heard they burn out quick. I wonder if you are going to run into any problems. Others then that your car is off the hook!~! Whta company did you go with for the 8000K's??? The 6000K's? I need to get a set of 6000K's but dunno where to go. Was gonna go with Phillips but still looking...Thanks in advance

My 6000K headlights on the Viper are Philips. The 6000K foglights on the Viper & 8000K headlights on the C32 are Eagle One.

I purchased the Philips from Autolamp-Online. They are located in the UK and it took a while to get these. They were quite expensive but Philips is one of the best brands.

The Eagle One were purchase through Plasma Garage . They sent both my 6000K Foglight Kit & 8000K OEM Replacement blubs very quickly. The pricing was very competitive and I would probably use them in the future.

As far as one K to another, I don't think the output in light makes a difference in the life of the light (unless someone proves me wrong here ). No matter if it's 6000K, 8000K, or 10000K, I think the life of the light is the same as long as you don't touch the blub or anything.

PS-I personally like the 8000K look better, but I cannot get an 8000K foglight kit for the Viper. That's the reason I didn't switch out the Viper to 8000K. Some difference between cars is good too (afterall, they both have the same wheel ).

Try Autowerks Direct . They sell the clear fogs (the entire assembly) for $250 or so and that's where I purchased them. I'm not sure if they are the exact clear fogs from the CLK55 but they sure do look a ton better then the OEM fogs on the C32 AMG bodykit.

Looks great! Did you have to cut any of the foglight grills to get them in there? I don't think they will fit without any cutting.

Nope, just had to remove the mesh to put the foglights in so they fit then I just reinstalled them back over the lights. I'll take some pics closeup as requested by Harris once I get home.

4100K looks the best and gives out the most light once the 4100K color shift they look really nice and bluel. If you go 6000k dont get anything besides Phillips Ultinons. The other 7500k, 8000k.12000k. Dont have half the lumens of 4100k but they look ok but the usable light on the road isnt very good and the bulbs are cheap usally asian or other because no respectible company Phillips, Osram make anything over 6000k.

Never the less your viper looks great so does the C32. Both cars look very slick.

Then why would you change your 4100K bulbs which have more light then any of those 6000k and 8000k bulbs. Stick with OEM it has alot more light and is less distracting to drivers and looks better then the green/pink looking asian bulbs.

He's talking about the fact his car is already to Xeneon present.
And if he was to replace his fogs, it would not be a prob.

I agree the stock bulbs from Steve are perfect. 6000, and 8000 are kind of ricey, and ppl get to caught up in that crap.

Personally, I like the 8000K on my black car. I think it makes the car have more of a "head turning" factor. Either way, the bi-xenon option kicks a$$.

I promise I'll have come closeups on the fogs soon. Just had my birthday yesterday and was busy.

I think www.plasmagarage.com has 5600K available now (or the very near future). Basically no difference from 6000K at all.

I host my pics through stlhosting.com and they are updating to a faster system. They won't be back for another week or so. I've used a temporary site to host these pics again...
