Anyone have any experience with these bulbs? I am thinking about putting them into my 2013 E350. Are there any tricks to bulb replacement? My previous 2000 C230 was a pain with the access and the clip.

Thanks.

Are you trying to convert from Halogens, or are you unhappy with the factory xenon's?

Replacement for existing Halogen H7 bulb. At this point not seeking a full HID conversion. Thanks.

Not familiar with those, but I installed the Philips Diamond Vision in mine. They look mucccccchhhhh better than stock halogens. There are a couple of pics in another post that show the difference, just search around the forum for pics.

As for tricks for changing the bulbs...patience hahaaa.

Passenger side is the easiest as you can go in from the top once you pop the hood. Driver side is the one that's a pain. You have to remove the wheel liner and squeeze your hand up and replace. There are also a few posts in other forums that have DIY for that also.

I don't know if I'm reading this right, but this Spec Page indicates the nighthawks have a rated life of 130 hours? that seems super short!

Are you looking to replace your existing halogen H7 with something that is whiter and matches better with the LED DRL's or are you looking for a brighter light?

I've tried a few H7's including the Philips Diamond vision, while they do look much better, none of them are as bright as the factory halogen's. Filtering out some of the light spectrum so only white light gets through tends to make it not as bright.

If you want brighter lights, you'll need to install an HID kit.
