SL63 HID and Foglight color
Just wondering if anyone else find that their HID and LED fog lights are in a yellowish color (4300K color) as to the new E and C class ones are bright white (5000K color)?
I'm saying this because the color of our side lamps (the strip of light above our HIDs) are white/blueish and all our other lights are yellowish. It doesn't feel as nice as to the E and C having all lights the same color.

That said I wish they would have the Euro headlights here in the US; then the orange "eyebrows" would be white. Much better looking...

Managed to take a good photo. The light temperature color is much more yellow compared to the new C and E class. 
I know the HID can be replaced with similar color as the side lamps but the day time running lamps are a different story...

Those are the non US headlights. When I checked last night , the color of the HID's are white and match the LED daytime running lights.
Keep in mind that the bright white LED eyebrow is orange in the US.
Which country are you in?

Hong Kong, guess I'll give my dealer a call and see if there's anything they can do...do you mind taking a picture of your daytime running lights? Perhaps I could order a set of US versions of the LED.
Thanks!
Thanks!
