it's an h3 bulb and can be accessed from underneath the front end by removing 4 screws.

For a while, I've been running matching lights on all of them. Very recently, I've change the fogs to yellow and kinda like it better. Don't know if I grew tired of the white lights and yellow is somewhat new to me. All in all in end it's up to your preference. It's so easy to change them anyway that you can keep replacing it if you don't like the other one.

CLK430 (AMG bumper / round fog) is H3.

CLK320 (regular bumper / square fog) is H1.

Soon -- 2000 CLK430
Is there a spot to mount a ballast behind the bumper for a HID setup for the fogs, or is there space in the engine bay?
