Has anyone used these before? Are these any brighter than the OEM's, or does it just give a blue tint? What is the difference between the H1 through H7?

It'll give you that blue tent and nothingmore.
I would look into a real HID upgrade kit.
MSRP on a CATZ kit is only $495.00.
goodluck.......................................... .................................

No not worth .01 cent, cheap painted crap. Get the real HID, much better and will save you money in the long run. Lots of the fake painted bulbs burn the housing.

H7 is the halogen bulb size for the main headlight and highbeam.
H1 is the size for the foglights (regular bumper)
H3 is the size for projector fogs in the sport(AMG) bumper.

Get the real deal... Contact Steve, MBenzNL@hotmail.com, for European spec Xenons.

I presume you mean the dim auxilury light. I'm not sure of the size, but it's listed in the owner's manual.

I use Polarg M17s hyperwhite and sanded off one of the 'pegs' to make fit. Autowerks Express sell these bulbs pre-modified.

Hope that helps.

Yea, the Polarg M17s are about the only things you can get around here, but they are as dull as watching dirt grow.
