Headlight Conversion from Yellow Bulb to White Bulb
Hey Guys,
Does anyone know what is the right bulb Part # required to convert the stock 2004 R230 headlight from the yellow colour to white LED type color? Also for the fog lamps?

Assuming you're going from stock halogens... You'll want an H7 hid conversion kit. Make sure it's a canbus enabled kit or it won't work. If interested, we have plug and play Morimoto H7 canbus HID conversion kits available with matching 194 wedge LEDs for the city/parking lights as well.

As for fogs, your prefacelifted model uses 9006 hid conversion kit which will also need to be canbus enabled. We have those as well. Lmk.

R230
I believe all r230 in US have a xenon bulbs, so you just need to get 5000K D2S bulbs. Open the hood and check if you have xenon or halogen. LED bulbs for fogs will do, not sure if you need to modify the back covers.

ALL US Spec R230 have Xenons. You will just need D2S, i recommend Getting the new Osram CBB 7000K (they're perfect crisp white, just like the new LED, and BRIGHT AF) , i have not done LED fogs, but i did HID kit (5000K 55W), they are 9006. There is no housing cover behind the foglight. LED would work well, just note you will need to readjust your foglights afterwards.
