I got them from this kid that works in Mercedes Service. I paid $140 for them and installed them myself. Not easy to do.

What color? Clear. They're factory SL-Class Hella HID projectors. I opened the headlights and fit them into the foglight area. They fit perfect. I have 6000K HID's in there and the headlights. Its all purplish. Heres a pic.

Question Headlights

Do you think those type of fog lights would look hot if I have black housing?

I painted mine black a few months ago. I just dont have any updated pics. It looks nice. You car is white right? The black housings look real hot on white cars. Its alot of modification to fit the projector into the headlight though. You best bet is to try to get some projectors off Ebay. Look for headlights off cars that have HID projectors. Porsche, Audi, BMW, Benz, etc. I'm thinking of putting a projector in the headlight area also but I dont feel like doing all that work again. Four HID projectors would look sick. :wow:

Dont do that. The 8000's will make the 6000's look like halogens. Heres a pic comparing 6000k to 4300k. It will have the same effect. Get either 6000's or 8000's. Dont forget, the higher the kelvin, the less light output. Especially in the rain. My 4300's were definitely brighter than my 6000's.
