A while back I did a little research on fog lamps and made this post:

https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...ade-bulbs.html

Maybe the info will still be of use to those considering fog lamp updates.

Good to hear they are working! As far as the license plate lights are concerned, the pyspeed lights are unbelievably bright and everyone I know always tells me the back of my car is so bright because of the lights. They have 18 leds on each side.

Any results from the 68 LED SMD fog lights? This is the last thing I need to do after doing city and license plate lights?

Do they match up well with 6000k low beam HID? Any pics?

Did you buy the resistors separate from the bulbs? What resistors did you get so i can purchase them before i do the install.

Thanks,

they get extremely hot so try to mount them where they are not sitting directly on the plastic bumper. I zip tied mine I believe but cannot remember 100%.
