Unhappy Inner light change and fog light

What up Guys, i have a quick question.. I want to make all my lights on the front match my xenon headlights. I bought some bulbs from titan motorsports here and they were really ugly. Didnt match at all. What do u guys suggest?

What did you get? The fogs are pretty hard to match but the city lights should be a easy match. Try PIAA 19172 or 19169

Looks good, I found city lights "194" s at PeP boys, called hyper white cost
$6+ a piece.

My high beams are worthless, the hot spot is 30 feet high at 100 yards. The worst headlights I have ever had, yes the low beams are correct. On my housing I see a white knob that when turned and disengaged moves the low beam, if I could get .25" adjustment here the alignment would be perfect. I plan to install the Mtec xenon kit in both the lows and fogs and will put the 65W oshram in the highs. So at that time I'll fix the alingment.

Ive used Polarg and get a good match, but on the fogs I used Yellows, they seem to be more functional.

Just installed LED lights for the plates 2x9LED 37mm from spectrumled, had to add 2x100 ohm 10 watt ceramic resistors, I hard mounted them on a circuit board and potted it in epoxy. then mounted the board above the emergency trunk release. My plate is white and blue and now looks like it glows, in clean white light.

I replaced my city lights, tag lights, and int. lights with bright white LEDs and my fogs with matching REAL HID 4300k system, only way to go. Go LED much better.

you will need 3 (two front, one rear dome lights) of the 44mm Superstar Dual high flux LED bulbs (u can use the 39mm but honestly its not as good of a fit and not as bright). the door flood light bulbs area perfect fit for 39mm 9LED bulbs (so 4 of those). The map reading lights are 194 bulb 5LED style bulbs, there are 3 of those (1 up front, two in rear). that should cover the whole interior.

The best LED city light replacement are these ((Wide Viewing Angle BA9S Bulbs)) They are on the white/blue side when lit bright but not as bright as stock yellow. Here is where you can buy them. http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...gi?product=755 and here is the spec http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/ba9s.htm

BA9s-x-WV Wide Angle bulb
LED replacement bulb with Wide Viewing Angle
9mm single contact Bayonet base
12 Volt AC/DC operation

They cost $1.98 ea.

You will need (2) of these as well RL-2525 Marker Lamp Load Resistor 25 Ohm, 25 Watt load resistor kit for mini wedge base bulbs Connect one across each LED marker light to resolve bulb-out warning indicator problems $ 3.95 Ea.

Dawson I have a problem on my E 430 sport, can you tell me what fogs with matching REAL HID 4300k system did you use? My Piaa bulbs (65w) melted my fog lamps and the focus is gone. Time to replace the lamps the 430 sport has the same fogs (round) as the 55 do the HID's run cooler than stock bulb?
TIA.

That's immensely useful, but I have a W210, and I'm looking for similar specs for my bulbs.

W210 uses H6W for city lights, H7 low beam, and H1 fogs.

Thanks for the reply, I made a new thread dedicated to my headlight problem here:

https://mbworld.org/forums/w210-amg/...headlight.html

I'll look for H6W bulbs since the H7s are for low-beams.
