Weird Stuff to addon to CLK430
Hi have anyone try to install some weird stuff on your CLK? ie:
Sparco or Recaro Seats? Xenon "FOG" lights?? Xenon flashing kit for showcar?? I have once saw a person put a light bar on top of a CLK like some nascar pace car but it was no amber, it is red and white!!:p I am looking for a Xenon for my FOG light, does anyone know the style of a CLK 430 Fog light? is it H1 or H3? Any recommandation?
P.S does anyone know how to open the side mirror so i can change those signal lights into Blue ? I have already chage to front and back..........
THanx A Million!!!

the stock fog lights in the 430 use a h3 bulb. ive also looked into upgrading to an hid and found that yes, it is possible. im reading your post and interpreting it as you want to upgrade your fogs to actual hids, not hid looking bulbs. i feel that my grand can be used elsewhere than upgrading a pair of lights that i use 25% of the time, maybe less. the mirror turn signals are l.e.d. s and not light bulbs. i dont believe u can change these to a different color.

Yes i am changing the fog lights into HID
I have ordered it since i mostly drive in night time and i usually turn on my fog light everytime i drive i think i should change it to Xenon. THe price of Xenon light a varie from 350 US -600 US depends on what u want. I have ordered Vision Xenon kit with Philips Bulbs, which cost me around 425 US i can install it myself.
The side mirror doesn't look like LED to me. There is only 3 little bulbs that is there I forgot the bulb # if anyone can teach me how to open the side mirror?? Thanx!

You cant really access the bulbs because the turn signal strip is a sealed unit. Even if a bulb burns out and you take it to the dealer, they replace the stip as one piece, so the only way you would theoretically be able to change the mirror signals to superwhite is if someone manufactures a replacement strip with the bulbs in it.
As far as the foglight conversion, I don't know if you said that you already got them, but H3 HID conversions are avaliable, but they're very hard to find as most places are out of stock. I'm planning on doing this myself, of course it really defeats the purpose of foglights. They're not supposed to be that bright unless they're yellow in color otherwise, they don't help in fog at all. With the HID's they're serve more as additional driving lights, but that seems to me to be what you want (same with me). Hope this helps
