Curve illumination is also pretty cool, but it's only noticeable on dark roads.
Certain things should kit be bought on eBay. That's all I can say. Sometimes buying cheap means you're paying twice. Brake and lighting equipment are some of the things where I suggest going OEM is the best way. Maybe more expensive but it will pay for itself.

Just off to buy one at the local NAPA - for my 1995 S class.
Manual says H7 55W. The Old one (made in Germany) is likely factory original and is a Phillips.
(B913 DOT 12972). I'll probably pick up 2.

Used to have CLK 320 with Xenons - and I bought the bulbs always from the dealer (they were $120 each).
