Want to Change bulbs
Hey guys.
This past weekend I was at my friend's house, and was checking out his GS300. And noticed that he had changed the bulbs on it, now they look very close to HIDs but they arent. This gave me the idea of changing my bulbs on the ML. But I having trouble finding what the size is, and which brand to chose. Because I do want the HID look, without the loss in vision. So i would appreciate it, if anyone can appoint me the size and what brand to go with.

Try Hoen Hoen Lighting. Their Xenonmatch Titanium lamps are very close to stock HID color. I used them in my fogs and flasher beams to match my HIDs.

Try these bulbs. My brother has them on his CRX and they look very close to HID. They will look better on your Benz since you already have projector lights.

He has Titanium Lights for Low Beam and JDM Yellow for highbeam (i'm thinking of getting JDM Yellow lights for the fogs, will post pictures and feedbacks once i get them)
I would suggest to stay with White (titanium or hyper white)
Good luck! let us know how they look on your benz.

Hi
I would like to change the bulbs on my ML as I don't have xenonlights. Does anyone have pictures of their ML with the changed bulbs? I recall that I saw such a post a while ago. Any help would be great.

My 2006 Lexus IS 250 had stock 55W halogens. I converted it to 6000K HIDs (lowbeams) and 4750K halogen bulbs (fogs). Installed it myself. It looks awsome.
I'm thinking of converting my non HID w164 to 6000K. I'm looking at Phillips conversion kit.

wow looks nice
I've just changed my bulbs with some no-name halogen 100W with 6000k (according to manufacturer) xenon look-a-like bulbs. They look great and the car lights up the road even better now. I'll post some pictures later.

Hi GMBALL,
I don't have the airmatic and I'm also looking forward to the Kleemann powerchip. I have it on my E220 CDI and a few days ago I made my younger brother drive it and race against me in the ML. Believe me both cars were equally fast in acceleration and speed over five rounds. I was a bit dissapointed with the ML (V6 224hp,0-100km/h 8.4sec against E220 CDI R4 standard 150hp and with Kleemann 192hp) so now a powerchip is a must
