Question Polarg M17's Can You Tell The Difference...

I just installed some Polarg M17's and I was wondering if you guys can tell the difference because I'm having a hard time doing so.

BTW, thanks Danny, and I still would have wanted them.

W213 '17 E43 ///AMG - W211, W208 no more
I pick the right side (driver)....

wow... now i'm wondering if I should install my M17s???

I still running my old old set of M17s, but I had bought 2 sets of the new ones (you bought one of those sets)... I guess the dye makes it less blue...

The old ones are painted with a thick coat of blue paint...

Hey Brian, I'm gonna be ordering LEDs for a forum member, if you want, I can order you a set of those... they are much much much more blue...

Do you recall seeing them in my driving lights comparison a while back??? The LEDs were the bluest ones...

Let me know... Sorry the bulbs didn't work out to be as nice as we both hoped it would be...

I had the ones with the thick paint, they show up pretty greenish/blue tint. Bujt it looks like I have a headlight growing algae or fungus, its an ugly off blue.

Need a better solution, on my c230 it had a 194 wedge in the same style plug for the headlight. Im thinking of getting this connector and just splicing it on instead of the M17 conenctor.

On my c230, I had xenons and the polarg wedge bulbs really matched well.

No problem at all Danny, it turned out okay. I like it a lot better than the stocks after looking at them again. I think I'll be okay with these for now, but thanks for the offer for the LED's.
