Hoen's color for the H7s are incredible. Too bad they don't project too far.

I have had Hoen's Colormatch H7s in my Hi-Beams and they don't seem to be short on projection distance. I'll have to take a few pictures again.

I'm going to order some H11 to replace the fog lights. Manual says HB4, but I just pull the bulbs and it shows H11.

Any preferred vendors in regards not burning out too soon? I was just going to order from Hoen. I've had no problems from Hoen as I've purchased license plate bulbs in the past.

Ya, fogs are H11. Are those pics for high beam or for the daytime/parking lights. I thought if you have the bixenon package, the high beam is xenon.

Is that the code for all w211 fogs? Or is it different for the E63 fog lights?

Hi-Beam bulbs on the inner lights are halogen in bixenon package as halogens are required for intant on. OEMs HiBeam halogen bulbs are yellow; replacing these with Hoen Colormatch H11 halogen bulbs matches the white color of the bixenon beams thereby making it look much nicer.

Eric, it's best to just do a visual check by pulling out the bulb.
After reading up on other W211 owners, I had a feeling it was a H11 bulb.

You'll be happy, just installed mine and they look great. Interesting thing about the HOEN's is that if you purchase the parking/running lights from them. It is not much brighter than the yellow stock and still has a tinge of yellow. I went with PIAAs instead.

Hoen xenon match did a great job on mine. Check the attached pic. This is an old picture of it. Since then, I've installed the running/parking light, the side marker light, and most of the interior light to match. I got these light bulbs from www.interiorxenon.com. They did really good job at it too. I've pretty much install all my interior light to make it look white clean look.

It has been raining a whole lot lately, but once the car is nice and clean again. I'll take a picture of it with all the light matching

I had Hoen Xenonmatch fogs in my '07 E550, which took the H11 fog bulb. Then I traded that car in for an '08 E63, which takes H7 fog bulbs - which I had installed.

I have been a customer of Hoen for a few years now, with various cars that I wanted the matching color of my xenons. I am happy with their products.

I got some for my fogs too from hoen, at the same time I ordered all the lights for my wifes C240 and both of our license plates. I recomend them to all, everything looks good, Licence plate bulbs give it a nice touch.
