Replacement Fog lamp bulbs
Just picked up a brand new 2010 C63 in Obsidian Black on Sahara Beige and wondered if anyone can tell me what replacement bulbs I require for fog lamps. I would like a whiter light rather than the factory yellow. The factory bulbs say H7 but sylvania website says H11. I have searched and can't find anything. Any help would greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

Any of you can confirm if this is the bulb to get for the fog that includes the conversion kit?

or without the conversion kit?

I put the Phillips Crystal Vision (4000K) H7 in my hi beams and they still seem too yellow. Have not changed the fog lights yet.
I have the MB Bi-Xenons that I am trying to match. I read that they are 4300K.

As far as I know. I removed my factory bulbs to check and you will just need plug the bulb into the factory H7 housing.
For the price I thought I would also try these. $1 you can't really lose

I want to match my foglight bulbs as close as possible to factory headlights without going HID. Can anyone tell me how many lumens I need to achieve this. 5000k, 7500k? I was thinking of getting PIAA Spark Blue 7500k or similar. Thanks

7,500K would be way too blue. I think our stock HID headlights are like 4,300K. In the short term, I'm going to get 5,000K LED fogs to match the 5,000K eyebrows I got from AZN Optics. At least those two will match.

Was the Philips diamond vision H7 a simple Plug n Play into the fog light bulb housing ?
