2014 GLK350 low beam bulb upgrade

I just bought a 2014 GLK350 4Matic. I am not thrilled with the low beam stock bulbs. What is the best standard (non-HID) plug and play upgrade?

Are you looking for more lighting performance or color aesthetics? For lighting output, Osram Nightbreakers are a solid pic. For color aesthetics.... Philips Diamond Visions are the whitest halogen bulbs on the market, although to gain that level of color, they sacrifice lumens. Really to get the best of both, you'll want to do an HID conversion. We have simple to install HID options if interested. Even plug and play LED options which will be better than halogens, but not nearly as good as HIDs due to spread.

You can try H7 bulb on ebay or amazon, but you can also get quality brand name ones:

Sylvania has a whitish color line

I went Hid with Philips conversion kit, it’s great. Any halogen that’s brighter will just have shorter life, I used to have Piaa or Silverstars only last a year, and headlights you don’t want blowing out. LED is an option, but they are heat sensitive and have cooling fans built in that will fail. HID is the best option
