Headlight bulbs
Hey my fellow w202 owners i've been ordering a few things for my C43 lately and have been holding back on headlight bulbs for it. Not sure which to buy and wanted to see if anyone can recommend a good quality set of bulbs for me 
my daily C230K has these HIDs that came with the car and i like the brightness of them a lot. I'm positive that my HIDS are 4300K bulbs, if anyone can help out i'd appreciate it very much. Also fog light bulbs if anyone can recommend a set as well !! thanks

There are better quality than OEM tbh. It is definitely a you get what you paid for type of scenario. If you want the absolute brightest xenon bulbs in the market, go with Philips 85415 XV2 XTREME Vision bulbs. Those have a little yellow injection in them though so if aesthetics is your thing while still having more lux compared to oem bulbs, then go with Osram XENARC 66240 CBI/CBA/CBB line.

I have the Osram XENARC CBI. Very happy with them. High beams are Osram Night Breaker Plus. Combination of the two types makes great and safe night driving IMO
