What Bulbs do I need to get?

I have been talking to a friend who can get good deals on piaa bulbs, but he said he needs to know what I have in my car any ideas what he means is H7 or something

Thanks

Neil

Headlights H7, fogs H1, H6W city/parking lights (not sure of the hi-beam but I guess H7). Read your manual man, LOL! Philips' Diamond Vision or Crystal Vision also great for replicating, errrr, approximating xenons.

How good of a deal can you get on PIAA bulbs? Is he getting the stuff from Japan or from somewhere else? I have been looking so hard for a couple of PIAA bulbs, can you check and see if he has any? PIAA Super White SX H1 (not for a MB).

Same here, have been looking for a good deal on Piaa's Xtreme Force bulbs or Xtreme White in the H7. Can you please find out how much they cost.

Thanks.

Tezta,

You should check out the PIAA Xtreme Force or even the White, they look quite good, but maybe a bit pricey but HK is quite cheap anyway let me know if you know the price ..... can't wait to visit Mong Kok for shopping

...Don't you like your Diamond Vision? what's wrong with them? I was lucky enough to test them when I was buying my cheapo Korean ones that was whiter and bluer when compared back to back.

That's ok, here it is:

http://www.mercedes-benz.de/mbd/html...ung_start.html

do the same, click into "Betriebsanleitung interaktiv" on the left then English and Continue.

BTW, all I did was change the X in this part of the address "/X_klasse/", but noticed it only works for the following Classes:
CLK
E
SL
SLK (the new one!!! so check it out if you are interested in getting that car) will post this onto the SLK's forum for a heads up

Cheers,
Ho

Oops, sorry dude, they're the only ones I could find. Have a look a look at your owner's manual and see if there is a site address at the beginning otherwise you may want to ask someone else with a euro delivered W210.

Hope that helps.

I just installed the Sylvania Silver Stars on my girlfriend's Accord V6 coupe, they look and illuminate much better than most of the "blue" lights out there.

Guys, i went to the local ricer shops and couldnt find any thing other than philips diamond vision, crystal vision, and PIAA Plasma Spark Blue bulbs in H7 for our low beams. Any of you guys try out these PIAA's? http://www.piaa.co.jp/piaa/02_produc...lue/index.html

Im looking for a whiter light but i dont want that blue reflection off the inner headlamp housing.
