Does anyone have them? What are your thoughts and opinions on this?

Thanks for reading.....

Yeah I got the 8000K HID kit for my fogs on my car. I think it made a big difference and it looks better with the xenon headlighs as well.

clkal

did you use the HID kit for your other set of lights as well? (the smaller ones next to your headlights...i don't recall their technical name.....city lights? daytime running lights? parking lights?....whatever.....)

Ghostrider

If you get a chance could you snap a few picks?!?

I used LED's for mine, they are a perfect match to 6000K HID headlights.

Where could I pick up the HID foglights? Ebay? or could I just replace the bulb if possible, how bout the 'inner' lights, do you change the bulb?

Kinda interested, for some reason tho, my fog lights come out to looking orangish, anybody elses fog lights on their CLK430 (or 320) appear that way?

Ghostrider

I have LED's in my City Lights, and 4000K bulbs for my foglights. I want the fogs to be a better match for the headlights which are Philips Ultinon 6000K HID replacement bulbs. The city/headlights are a perfect match. I should snap some pics myself, most likely this weekend.

Heres a pic of my car with the 8000K HID foglights and the stock xwnon headlights which I will also be replacing to 8000K.

Looks pretty good. I was planning on doing that myself. Can you tell me what hid kit you used and what mods needed to done in order to make it fit or work?

+1

Thank You, I bought the kit from eBay from a seller called stillenmaxima. There are no mods needed, you unplug the power goin to youre stock fogs and plug it in to the HID box.

Silverbillet

Did you get the h3 one or which bulb size? So, it's just plug and play?

DropTop208

I got the H1. Yeah pretty much plug and play, just gonna mount the ballast box.

Silverbillet

Aren't those fog on our car running with h3 bulbs? How were you able to fit the h1 in there? Where you able to close the cap after installing the h1 kit? Do you mind snapping a couple of pics from behind so we can see how it was installed. Thanks.

I'm sure we can post it as a diy as well.

CLK's with the AMG bodykit use H1 bulbs....

DropTop208

Here are some better pics at night. When I get my car on the lift to do my trans service, I will take some pics as well.

Ghostrider

When I turn my car off and get out, after the lights have been on I close the door and the city and foglights come back on for 30 seconds....

Does your car still do this with the HID's?

DropTop208

Yes it does

Ghostrider

Dude that's bright!!

On coming traffic must hate you!!!!!!

Silverbillet

I have the amg bodykit and the foglights have h3 in them. I first thought it was h1 too but when you put the h1 on, you cannot close the cap. Can anyone chime in on this?

my '01 e55 takes h3 foglight bulbs.

jtbeche

As far as I know, and I'm pretty sure I'm right, the 320's take a H1 and the 430's/55's use a H3.

acb3nz

I have H1 on my clk with no problem

Silverbillet

And you were able to close that cap? This is weird. I think I still have the h1 bulbs laying around. I might give that another try.
