GL 450 2007 what type of HID xenon I need?
Hello everyone I just bought GL 450 with oem lights and decided to upgrade headlights and fog lights on aftermarket xenon kits. What type of bulbs do I need and what brand you will recommend? There is a lot of aftermarket brands on market I'm not sure which one is best quality. I know better to buy 50w than. 35w. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I have not used this seller but this is what you need. Look for a kit with Can Bus error cancelling and metal base on the H7 bulbs. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CANBUS-PRO...item8712dc960f

Not bi-xenon. You would need bi-xenon projectors. I would not put in an HID kit into standard fogs. You need a projector fog to keep it from blinding oncoming motorists.
I'm running these on my car with HID bulbs in the fog lights. Makes them more of a running light and they do a great job of adding extra light in front and to the side. It's like having your high beams on without blinding the oncoming motorists. The beam height is adjustable on these projector fogs. The extra light is really nice on a dark interstate or dark country road.
You have to modify the bucket a bit because with the hid bulb it sticks too far back to fit the stock space but it is quick and easy modification with a dremel and the right attachment. There is even an outline in the plastic to make the cut. You will need an HID kit that is compatible with canbus or get the inline resistors added to the wiring.
