HELP!! Brembo GT brakes and Headlight Conversion

Hi guys,

I need some info on my next upgrade which are 8000K bulbs and xenon fogs and Brembo GT brakes.

I am kind of blur in terms of the headlight and foglight conversion. So, if anyone is willing to help me, I'll appreciate it a lot. Where can I get a good deal? Also how much are the prices for the bulbs?

Anyone can recommend me a place that can give me the best deal to purchase a Brembo GT brakes for a CLK 320 W209? Thanks...

you have bi-xenons already? if so then you can just switch out the head light bulbs no problem.. as for the fogs you need to find a reputable hid kit and see how to mount the ballast and run the wires correctly. As for the brembos i think TWS in walnut is the best in terms of pricing and installation. Unless ofcourse other companies are running specials on brembo kits.

I already have the stock bi-xenons from Mercedes. What is the brand for the 8000k bulb and how much does it cost? Also, wehre can I get the bulb? I am not familiar with any of the brands of bulbs meant for cars. Please help me.

well an 8000K bulb is not as popular at say the 6000K one. if you went 6000K you should go with the philips ultinon bulb which goes for like 250 on ebay, i think Harris bought a pair off an ebayer from taiwan. But if you really want 8000K im not sure where to find a quality bulb, im sure there are plenty of generic brands or cheaper korean/japanese brands out there but i just wouldnt risk it.

What's the difference between the 6000k and the 8000k? Is the 8000K whiter? Thanks.
