E55 driving lights
I am going to replace my driving lights as the lens are beat up, that fine sand blasting look. I was looking at these:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Mercede...oAAOSwZJlXNbdw

https://www.ebay.com/b/Fog-Driving-L...1444735?_pgn=3

These are plastic;
https://www.ebay.com/p/Set%2Dof%2D2%...55038755&rt=nc

Also I would like to put in brighter bulbs, ideas?

Maybe you consider these DRL. May need to convert to 63 bumper though. Gary Lo will start a preorder list for WALD DRL soon.

But whatever you decide, I highly recommend that you have these fog lights wrapped in paint protection film (PPF).
Or they will end up looking like the ones your removing. I had mine wrapped when, I replaced them due to cracked lenses from road debris.

I have the E55 front end so those lights won't work. The front end of your car really looks good!

They should, I had bulbs like those on my stock bumper and fit perfectly with no flicker. Make sure they’re CanBUS ready.

I don't think so. I don't see any mention of them being canbus friendly. Yeah, you can find them brighter but mine are plenty bright. There is a point of being obnoxious with excessive lumens. I don't want to be that guy. Now if your out in the sticks, then by all means go brighter. JMO

I don't use my fog lights unless I'm out in the sticks so...

Also, not to be a thorn in your side but what about the headlights?

I'm running 50w 4500K HID's in the halogen factory projector. A H7 conversion from DDM (also canbus friendly). Fairly straight forward install. https://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php

My brights are LED

They take some customizing.

The ones I posted are 50W and the ones you posted are 35W yet yours are brighter, must be more efficient.

It's probably the chip set CREE is one of the better ones. (or so I've read )
