Question Which bulbs?

I'd like to replace the inner 2 headlights and the foglights with xtreme white bulbs to match the HID lamps. Does anyone know which bulbs are they? H7, H1, or H3? Thanks!

The high beam bulbs on all W210 are H7.

The fog lights on Sport Packages are H3.

The fog lights on non SP are H1.

If you find bulbs that MATCH the same city lights wattage (6watts), let me know. I've been looking for the same thing but can't find them.

So wait, are there 2 bulbs in the inner lights? I know it's the high beam..but it's still lit without the high beams on. I am new to this car (just bought it this week ).
Also, is there a how to on replacing the bulbs? My dealer is getting me the car manual..apparently the previous owner lost it
Thanks

Yeah, the innermost light houses the high beam (H7 bulb) and the so-called always on "city light" or "parking light" which is a H6W bulb.

All of them, as much as I can...
Can't guarantee but try...

Polarg M26 8W or M17 super white will fit with a little mod. Grind off one post since the sockets will only take offset posts. It will work and match HIDs closely. Can't remember which one I used, I threw out package.
