Fogs for Manik Grille bar
Question guys, I got a 2000 ML320 and Im buying a Manik Grille Guard, what are the fogs that I need? Where can I get them? And, Do they wire to a stock button?, Or I have to do an aftermarket button....
Any help would be really apreciated.

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
i have a set of slightly used PIAA's that are for the bar... super super bright... original 380ish, selling for 150.
i can get you the more factory ones from Hella, not nearly as bright but a little bigger. i get it cheaper than retail...much.
you can wire it to the factory button, which you need to have activated at the dealer...takes two minutes. or you can run a seperate switch...which i prefer. i prefer it cause then you can turn them on whenever you want. with the factory switch you can only turn them on when the headlights are on... and they turn off when you flick the high beam...totally sucks.

Go for the PIAA!
I just have my chrome PIAA 520 SMR driving light installed on my Stainless Manik bar. Its a perfect match. Piaa quality its the best in the business. I choose the 520 SMR for its clear lense design. The regular 520 and 510 is a lot less but the same quality. 520 SMR is close to 7", just enough clearence to clear the Manik bar to drop for opening the hood. The regular 520 are a little over 6" and 510 its about 5". Check out their website at www.piaa.com

ahopeter,
I only hate it when its time to wash it.
Beside I havn't received any offer yet, I think and my wife seem to really like how it looked. Since this is her daily nanny car to transport my kids. I'll wait when she gets tired of it.

I have a ml320 with the same grille guard that you are looking for. It is great when you get into an accident because it doesnt even scratch your car, but overall I regret buying it. I would keep it stock and paint the bumpers.
