High beam bulb HID conversion?
I am in the process of finding some new bulbs for my 2011 SL550. It seems as though the low/high beam bulbs (next to the xenon D1S bulbs) are H7. Has anyone installed a Morimoto HID conversion kit for these bulbs? Or can recommend any other 6000-7000k replacement bulbs? Thanks in advance!

To be totally honest... I'm just being 100% superficial. I would like to replace the factory warm bulbs with some ultra white / blueish lights for my blue car. That is all. They do not need to be brighter or anything like that..

If that's the case.. you can go with a cheapch LED option which we can also set you up with... Or just get whiter halogen bulbs like Philips Diamond Visions. The DV bulbs are the highest Kelvin rated halogen bulbs, but sacrifices lumens, which it seems like you don't care about. They will still have some yellow injection though as halogen technology can only do so much.
