how to i get to the fog light?
hey guys, i just bought a set of 7000k H7 fog lights for my car, but i have no idea how to get to the fog lights.
and btw, are the fog light bulbs H7 or H11? im confused because in the regular C class forum, they told me its H7, but the manual says its H11..
Thanks guys!

H11
manual should have fog light instructions.
remember fog lights are for fog and poor weather conditions,not for show.They were designed for the 55watt bulb and trying to go brighter or bluer(which that is all the 7000k are is dipped in blue tint)
defeats their purpose.

may carry the selective yellow euro spec fog bulb if you are looking for a high performance fog bulb that is for go more then for show.

the manual actually doesnt have the instruction to the fog lamps.
it says to bring it to an authrorized dealership to change the fog lights.

They are H7 Bulbs. Careful of 6 or 7000K H7's in there . Pretty hot and the (expensive) fog lenses are susceptible to heat cracks.

There should be a panel underneath each of the lights on the under body of the car. There will be 2 (I think) plastic body panel fasteners on each panel. Remove them and this will give you access to the back side of the Fog light assembly. the rest is straight forward.

Hey Nick. I must admit I have been all over the new car to see whats what. Still driving my wife nuts The fogs are similar to the C55 (took me a while to figure out the access to the Fog assembly on that one) and when my 63 was on the hoist pre-delivery for the 19" wheel install I had a look to see if was the same. It was.
Later buddy.
