Best Headlight Bulbs
I need replacement headlight bulbs and there are so many different brand choices and prices. Does anyone recommend any certain brand for some Xenon bulbs to put in my 2006 CLK55. Not looking for the cheapest bulbs but hopefully the best bang for my buck. Appreciate the feedback.
Thanks

We carry top end Morimoto units. If you have OEM xenons, you'll need a set of D2S. We carry these in 5000K white and 6000K white with a slight bluish hue. If you have OEM halogens, you use H7 which we have HID kits for.

how reliable are your leds?
are they manufactured by OEM standards which means they have looooooooong life burn time?
i used to buy leds from another guy who had an ebay webshop and his leds was most of the time junk, i had to get them replaced several times because of uneven random build quality.
i don't want to buy junk leds anymore!!
do you offer leds in various colors?
for interior illumination i have blue leds which gives a nice look at nite.
for daylight running lights, do you have these canbus error free leds with wedge fitment in 5-6000K? giving bright white looks matching my 5000K D2R xenons?
i will install these leds inside my headlights, these leds are used as parking connected with fog lights, driving as daytime running lights

leds with glued heatsinks are no good, coz glue will dry out and heatsinks will fall off, then led will burn to death!
what leds are the best to use without function problems?

Hello Kowalski
With regards to our wedge LEDs it looks like you have in question, we just released our V5 model which is our latest and greatest utilizing COB based diodes for cooler burning while incorporating the surge protection of our V4 model. This is to say, we're constantly looking to improve our units as opposed to just stand pat with our designs. Our units are lab tested to run for 50,000 hours, however that's in a clean room with regulated voltage. When exposed to live vehicular environment, any number of external factors can attribute to a shortened life span from rust/corrosion due to improper weather seal, to current surges from vehicles that have electrical issues or bad wiring from other aftermarket electronics. We do provide a 1 year warranty on all our units though so you at the least a minimum year's usage and we do QA checks of our units prior to ship, shipping them in box containers instead of envelopes to reduce risk of transport damage.

your leds are they all manufactured in China or domestic made?
some led manufacturers have random build quality, which means leds are no good for long life use!
you foggot to tell me if you have interior light dome leds in various colors like blue leds?
I don't want to buy leds with glued heatsinks, glue is most of the time of poor quality and the heatsink falls off from motherboard
your 5000K wedge leds are they white or grey hue in 5000K?
my current wedges leds are in 5000K but gives me a grey hue with no color match to my 5000K xenon headlight bulbs
would 8000K wedge leds be better color match paired with xenon 5000K headlight bulbs?
do you have paypal
any forum discount given in your led shop?
