Inner Round Fog Bulb Size

Hey guys,

I plan on putting 6000K HIDs into the headlights and fogs of a W212. The owner's manual discloses the low-beam size (H7) but not the fog-light size. Would anyone happen to know this? Thank you in advance.

FOG

H1

You don't want HID in fogs. That defeats the purpose unless you are just posing and not driving.
You will ruin your lighting installing HID's into stock headlight housings. So consider that before putting in some cheap HID system that somebody assured you will work.

Want more light?
Install 65 watt rally H7's into the low beam sockets
www.danielsternlighting.com carries them.


You are between the age of 19-24

I'm an aesthetics kind of guy...and yes I like to be a poser as well!

I suppose you would like to tell me how my car has lost its performance characteristics by installing a non-static suspension...oh I do have HID fogs as well
