New Bulbs for the Fogs & Parking Lights
Can anyone professionally recommend "matching" bulbs for my '03 E320? I have the Xeon Headlamps, but the yellow fogs and parking lights are embarrassing! Why did Mercedes cheap out and do such a thing?

I tried bluevision lights first and they didn't look much better so I then went for PIAA extreme white which look the best of the 4 bulbs I tried.

I haven't changed the fog lights as I don't know how to get to the bulb. Anyone know?

Very easy! Have a look under the fog light (under the bumber) you don't need to jack the car up, there is a small cover which is held up by two clips. Open the cover put your hand in and the bulbs twist out.

For the Parking Lamps, I tried the PIAA 19172, but too blue-waiting on #19169 to arrive. In the meantime I took those bulbs out-I think it looks nicer this way.

The fog lights are H11 from www.D2technik.com, 626-282-2727 and those match very well!
