Headlight bulbs
Sorry for being such a noob but what headlight bulbs does the W124 use? I am getting chrome clear headlights for my car and I will order some PIAA bulbs for them. PIAA is the best right? I am pretty sure I need H4 for low/high beam and H3 for fog lights but I am not sure. Am I correct? Also what's the difference between 9000series and Hseries bulbs?

95 e320...sold the rest
I'm getting Luminics Ultra Blue lights soon when I get my new headlights. They're supposed to represent the look of HID real well.

So, do I need 9004 for the low/high beam? H3 for the fog lights?
According to Sylvania's website that's what it fits. I am thinking about getting some silverstars 9004SU and H3ST? I will also check out what STLe320 is suggesting. What does everybody else think? PIAA-Silverstar-Luminics-Other? Please help me out. I need EXTREME White

I am running Mtec Super White H4's in my euro headlights. After trying about 5 different kinds, I am very satisfied with these, pure white and only around $25. These are more of a pure white than the Silverstars, Nokya's and Eurolites. I found these to be almost identical to the light output of the JDM Piaa bulbs.
These are the ones I use

Do you have Euro headlights ?
9004 is used only in the US Spec headlight, Euro spec uses the H4 for the lamp.

Demo, you should not have to try TOO hard to find these, 2phast provided a link to a brand new set on ebay, same seller I used.
I took 2phast's advice 2 months ago...
Mtecs are well worth the price.
More listings:

Good luck!

Anyway, those in the attachement are the Euros right? So they should have H4. But I ordered these off eBay. What will these take? H4/H3 or 9004/H3?
