CIlky, do you know how many K is the stock Xenon?

I like the fog light and the 7000k OSRAM.

Do you mind telling me where you got the 7000k OSRAM, Polarg M17 and PIAA fog light and how much?

Are all of them pretty easy to install? Any problem with the bulbs?


Thanks,


Solihin

Do you have your bright lights on? If not, what bulbs do you have in the two smaller enclosures? I don't even have xenon and my center bulbs are really really really yellow in comparison to the bigger ones

Are you using the stock housing? I have a set of HID's that came off of an S2000, and I was wondering what I needed to do to get them to work in my CLK 430. Any info would be great! Thanks!

haters crazy
In order to retrofit S2000 HID's into a stock housing you would need to make custon brackets and splice the original wiring to power the ballast (power and ground). I have done this on my 300E and my brothers M coupe R.I.P.
