Saw this on eBay, don't know how it would look on car. Projector-foglight (!!!) for W210 . Kind of pricey at $180 (shipping included). I think the price will tank a bit. When the "clear diamond" fog light first came out, price is about $160. You can get a set for $80-90 now.

I grabbed one of those off-shore labels for my E320 (trapazoid shaped lens).
Light output sux pretty bad, beam pattern is horrible, the adjust gearing is
poorly designed and will jump off track, the pivoting reflector has limited
travel and near worthless. But it look pretty tite when not in use and that
crystal clear lens is sweet. Oh, they are pretty decent as a courtesy light
before they're auto powered off.

I currently am running bix instead of H7 on low side and when ON, it is so
bright and the beam so broad that when I power on the fogs, it doesnt even
make a difference in lighting.....and that was with the OEM fogs with
Silverstar and Blue Visions.

(the above blather is in reference to the clear lens, reflector foggers....
not the projector units shown above by Zam)

For bulb type, size, try this engine.

What may appear to be an acceptable tint to one driver may be obnoxious
to another. So move your cursor to the top of this page and click on the
SEARCH function and type in e.g. bulb blue to see what others have
suggested.

For my 99 E320....
low beam - H7
high beam - H7
city light - H6W
fog light - H1

I put in clear lens Depo....
low beam - E55 bixenon
high beam - H7 Blue Vision
city light - W5W Blue Vision
fog light - H1 Blue Vision
