CLK 320 BLUB Type? H3? H4?

(((CLK 320 FOG LAMPS)))

I assumed they were H3's because C, E, S classes were H3's.

I bought Hiper HID Super Plazma Xenon Bulbs (12v 80w) 100W

and it didn't light up. Did I buy the wrong type? is the 'v' or 'w' off?Any info would be much appreciated. Much Thanks

H3, H4, Etc are bulb types (ex. Low and high beams on a CLK use H7 bulbs)

PIAA is a Brand/Manufacture (one of the better brands)

HID = High Density Discharge System (Not your normal stock bulbs)

yup. those bulbs suck. if they fit in the clasp and casing, they are the right size. i myself have tried over 10 or so brands of bulbs rangin from those cheap *** jap kind to PIAA. id have to say that PIAA is the best so far. i have a pair of H3 super plasmas in my 430. BUT, i've heard alot about he philips blue vision bulbs, supposedly a world better than the piaas. check em out.
