Philips Diamond Vision 5000K H1 in my fog light
I have bee using Philips Diamond Vision 5000K H1 in my fog light to match my OEM HID Xenon light on 1997 E-420.
https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...00k+diamond+h1
Recently one of the Bulbs went bad. Now I am looking to buy new pair of Philips Diamond Vision 5000K H1, but I can not find any more any where.
Please note Philips Diamond Vision 5000K H1 does no carry DOT.
Last 2 pair I bought from UK.
Any one know where I can get it or any recommendation what I can use to match my OEM HID Xenon almost white color.

Fog
lights are for fog and rain not as driving lights,you defeat the purpose of the proper wave length in the proper bulb.
use them in the fog,use the proper bulb or go with the selective yellow euro spec bulb from www.danielsternlighting.com and really be different while seeing better in the fog
as well.

as well.I don't use these fog light any way in this part of warm and sunny California for fog
It is just to match my HID.
It is for "LOOK" not for "Function".
I just want to match my HID Xenon, Philips Diamond Vision 5000K H1has been working good. But I can not find it any more.
Philips Diamond Vision 5000K mostly white with little hint of blue. It is not like "Rice Look", it give elegant white light and match very well with Xenon.

Oh
I SEE ,it is a fashion statement to glare everyones eyes out,while you come driving down the road with your color matched low beams, and driving fogs on.
Now I understand
must be a California thing

Yep it is just to match existing Xenon
Ohlord, you are right, it kind of fashion thing. I don't do it on my 2001 E-430 becasue it has no OEM Xenon on it.
One side note, you don't blind any driver because of these Philips Diamond Vision 5000K H1. You also don't glare other drivers.
These lights are all good in Europe and Asia, but don't cary DOT on it and no one sell here in US.
It is not like "RICE" stuff or fake Xenon that blind your eyes. Philips Diamond Vision 5000K H1 are bright enough but not brigth like 4300K bulb.
Ohlord you need to come down to Westwood, Brentwood and West Holywood California, you will see the statement these MB's make.
I like Washington, it is green and beautiful, but rain every day, it is boring.
I love US and then I love California. I just don't like cold, snow and rainy weather. I hated ICED out or you can call Snow down. When ever I visit any part of world or other US states for business trips, I always glad to be back in beautiful Central Coast of California. Once you leave here you don't want to move, even in this housing crises, I love to stay in California.
