CL and TL foglights

I was wondering if the fog bulbs on da 2001-03 TL's would fit in 2001-03 CL's because the fog bulbs on my CLS are hardly noticeable when theyre on and the TL fogs are much brighter.

Different housing, different bulb, different socket.
You can mod the current housing and put HIDs in there. There have been successful attempts at that.
The easiest way is to swap out the 5 watt bulb for a larger polarg or PIAA bulb thats 12 watts I think. Search for it and you'll get the bulb numbers.

Just use LED bulbs no need for expensive HID's unless you really want to do that

Sorry for not responding havn't been on for weeks.....

If you order these make sure you order the "White" not the "warm white"


Warm whites are slightly brighter than our stock bulbs

and

The "Whites" match close to our stock HID's

Nope just 1 screw on the side of each fog light to remove

My screws wouldn't go back in after I removed mine but they fit in pretty tight and don't look like they will pop out so it's easier to swap bulbs in and out
