Changing Bi-Xenon light bulb?
Does anyone feels that the Bi-Xenon is not bright enough? well is pure white and not like some aftermarket HID which is Blue??? Have anyone here changed the light bulb to aftermarket? does it look nicer?? Also, anyone here changed the front fog lamp to HID as well?

The other options for the HID is 5000k, 6000k or 8000k D2S bulbs. OEM one is 4300K. You could go to higher K bulbs but you loose visible light. It is a big debate over useable light vs temp k increase so I won't go there. In my opinion I had 6000k on my last car and it was not as bright during bad weather as factory 4300k. I think the OEM 4300k D2S on the GLK is very good and doesn't really require any changes
You could get HID kit for the fogs, just get one that matches the fog bulb type which I do not know off hand now

maybe i got use to my last car which had 8000k. It was not as bright as the GLK as it was a civic which means the light got spreaded out since it looks not have the lenses as the GLK.
which do you guys think would look nicer if i keep the factory HID and change the fog lamp to either the blue colour or the yellow colour HID????
if anyone changed already and can post some pics would be nice.
