DRL and High Beam Lights
Can anyone tell me the part numbers to these 2 bulbs? I just installed an HID Kit but the Xenon white make these 2 other lights look dull and yellow that I want to replace them with lights that are much whiter. Anyone had this done? I have heard of several replacements that are just pure white bulbs.

The issue is not brightness but wattage... plus the brighter, the hotter... thus more drain on the system etc... I would go to your nearest MB dealer and replace those std bulbs with those that MB uses on GLK's with the Bi-Xenon option... otherwise you may melt the sockets and/or housing.

Another option is to change to LED bulb. Check if the replacement bulb is available. You should be able to find the bulb number in the manual.

Can you provide more detail on your HID Kit such as the lumen (brightness) and brand? Is the light has good focus on the road with minimum glare? Are you having any problem or error message due to lower wattage?

LED would be an option. I just need to know the bulb number. MB makes it hard to find out, it's not in the manual that I can find. Thanks for the reply.

I bought the HID Kit online from buyhidkits.com and they are 6000K so they are pure white, no hint of blue and there is no error message. Honestly they compare equally to my wife's Acura TSX Xenon lights that were factory installed, same horizon level. I also replaced the parking light bulb (eyebrow above lights) with an LED white and that looks better than the yellow bulb that was there and again, no error message. I kept the turn signal bulb yellow.

If possible, could you indicate the part # of hid and the eyebrow bulb. Also, a picture would be appreciated. Thanks

The HID bulb is an H7. I bought it online at http://buyhidkits.com/h7hidkits.html. I just noticed the price went up from $59.99 to $99.99.
The LED light was bought online also at IJDMtoy.com. Here is the URL:

If you look at my profile, I have a few pictures in an album there that show the light off better.
