HID questions.....
What are the stocks bulbs installed with the bi-xeons. The type and burning temp....I am looking to get some aftermarket exterior and interior ones. I just need the type that I can replace with them. Also would this create any problems with anything? And why I am at it what is the type of bulbs for the amber turn signals in the front?
Thanks in advance!

Phillips (possibly Osram) D2S @ 4300ºKI am looking to get some aftermarket exterior and interior ones. I just need the
type that I can replace with them. Also would this create any problems with
anything? And why I am at it what is the type of bulbs for the amber turn

w/o identifying what bulbs you're considering as replacements,
it's challenging to determine whether there would be problems. LED
bulbs may not lend easily to dimming circuits. there's a lot of crap
bulbs, espec out on Ebay so you need to select carefully, utilizing
the experiences of others on this forum who may have first hand
experience sampling them
my chart is showing 2827A for turn bulb but it's a generic bulb chart
for all CLKs. your owner manual should be more accurate....or, go with
the 1157 mentioned above.

lol not here to argue and you type that sort of response? sounds like you ARE here to argue, so you're implying that i can't read what you typed in your first post? maybe if you read my answer to your post you can see that all the questions were answered except what the bulb size number was and i even said that could be easily found with a simple google search,
DUEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR,
i'm more than willing to help on forums if it's needed but when people like you who aren't willing to do any searching on your own post threads like this and i even DID help and you proceed to ignore what i said and give me attitude about how i can't read it's a little retarded,
DERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
