SL 550
Looking for Xenon foglights

I would like to replace the bulbs in my fog lights with bi-xenon lights that match the color of the headlights (2007 SL 550). I have read various issues relating to voltage and getting warnings on the dash with the wrong bulbs, etc.

Can anyone recommend a reliable, trouble-free replacement bulb?

Also, is it possible to set the fog lights to come on with the headlights when they switch is in automatic mode?

(Of course, what I would love to have is LED replacement fog lights but I don't think those exist at all for our model cars...

Just buy a HID kit so you change the bulb and add the ballast

I bought my Headlight/foglight bulbs from HIDextra in the group buy section. All 6000k and led city lights to match. Check the pic in my sig
