Matching to xenon light bulbs for SL55

Hi guys,

I think this is one of the old question people have asked before. I just recently got a 03 SL55 and I need to replace the matching light bulbs and frog light bulbs. Which light bulbs do I have to use and where can I buy it? Thanks in advance.

Just take out your aux light bulb and fog light bulb to LA China Town. They have a lot of blue tint bulb to match. I specially like the small blue bulb next to my HID. Looks a lot better then the yellowish factory bulb next to HID.

On the left are Philips 6000K HID hence the bluer tinge . On the right are OEM 4100K or 4300K HID. Parking lights (inner bulbs closer to the grill) are PIAA Platinum Super White 19169.
