02 xenons

sorry, have another question regarding the w208. the factory xenons, can i change the bulbs to better quality or do the factory bulbs do well ? are there clear headlight sets so you can get better quality lighting out of them? can i do anything with the fog lights on the standard w208 clk55 ? thanks for your information, i'm just trying to get everything set up and mods i want to do before i buy, but i'm definitely going with the 208.

thanks in advance

There are no better quality bulbs then OEM 4100-4300K the only other HID capsule that is decent is the Phillips ultinon 6000k capsule but you pay for color the lighting output is also decreased. I have seen projector based W208 and W210 housings but im not sure how well they perform or what there counterparts in terms of projectors etc.
