Just switched out the city lights from the stock yellow bulbs to some small LEDs. No errors after 30mins of use and seem to at least look closer to the Xenon lamps. alittle more blue than the pictures shows you know cameras cannot really show bright light and then has all kinds of software to try and make it look better. sorry no tripod and I did this tonight with out flash to show you the true look. Last pic was without any light around the car, first 2 had garage lights behind me. city lights are more for look than vision.
easy change just reach down carefully between the wires. its the bottom bulb and give it a 1/4 trun and lift up to swap. 5 min job and graded level 1 for difficulty. here are the ones I use simple 2 LED, there area some 6-8 LED sets but that seemed to bright. reasonable at 20.00 shipped.

nice write up!1 i will def buy these. what color are you HIDS?? 8k?

B on my Benz

just bought them from ebay

mikeevo

Just Stock bulbs otherwise.. I have not changed my HIDs yet , this is just the LED lower bulbs. dont be fooled the lower city lights are not as bright as the picture but do look nice. I will snap some with both highs and HIDs on , I forget about those. First one is now with tripod , will give you alittle better color idea and brightness. the last pic is with brights on, you can see how the HID over shines the LED and goes back to the yellow color, I am looking into some super white HID, as other have stated, will post more pics as I change them out as well.

my HIDs are from the brand GARAX. I got them from ijdm. they are fabulous. They are bright. i havent changed my fogs yet. Im thinkin of changing them to 3000k. Ill def take some pics

mikeevo

did you get to try any of the sylvania style or the stuff they sell at autozone or orileys. I will check into the Garax. I take it they are on Ebay. post some pics or shoot me a pm.

B on my Benz

oh yea def. I just purchased some 3k foglights just a minute ago.

there are also some blue ones.

they were only 8.99. make an offer. i got mine for 7.99

mikeevo

wow thats cheap. I will check into these. send pics when you have them installed. have you done the fogs before. can you reach around to get to them or do we need to take the bottom off or pull the light out.

B on my Benz

yea its prob the easiest thing you'll install haha

When you look under you front bumper there will be these inserts right below the fog lights.. Un tighten the screw with a quarter or a big flat head screw driver (its not necessarily a 'nail screw' but you will know what i mean when you peak under there) then take the fog light out buy turning it then just 'plug n play'

same procedure as the other side.

hope this helped

mikeevo

yea , now I remember, when I was putting on the front CF lip near the corners there were 2 sections close to the fog enclosures. I didnt think about it when I was under there. thanks .

B on my Benz

yep not a problem. i am gettin a front lip as well.

how was the install and what brand is yours?
