headlight..

hey guys,

I have the standard package for my e-class which comes with yellow light instead of the white one..

I'm planning on replacing my headlight bulb to white color..any idea what to get? was thinking of getting Philips bulb 4300k or 5000k.

size is h7 and the newer model year is 5000k. but you might want to consider hid kit instead of just changing bulbs. much better result.

Mine is the 2011 model.

Hmm, But HID Kits are a lot more expensive than changing the halogen bulbs right?

I'm not that good in in stuff like this, if I were to get HID kit, what else I need apart from the Bulb alone? O.O

CEB = "It's illegal and you will kill someone and go to jail"!! Hehehe...I have a 2011 P1 and I changed out the low beam bulbs with some 'whiter' ones and have been very happy. When I get outside later today I will look at the box and give you the info.

ooo,

i was just planning on the 5k white halogen..don't want any higher..

Anyway, there are reason for projector headlamp as well no? With HID kit it can lower the glare so it won't blind the car facing the light? O.O

h7 5000k canbus/error free hid kit is the stuff you need and it could cost less than some expensive bulbs. the kit comes with couple bulbs, couple ballasts and some wires. that's it. but the problem is installation. if you know someone who is good at this kind of stuff, have him/her help you or take it to a reputation shop and have them install it for you.

if your low light means low beams, they are h7. fog is h11.
