    I bought mine from here:

    http://www.eurolights.com/

    They are much better than the originals but not exactly what I would call bright.

    I got the cool blue headlights and the yellow ion fog lights.

    The fog lights are a pita and weren't worth the effort but maybe if I had tried a different color. I also tried the halogen reverse lights, mediocre performance on those too.

        The blue ones are very white. Just a slight shade of blue. They are a little whiter than what the new BMW's come with. I haven't seen a Benz to compare it with.

            Like T/A said, HID's are really expensive! Most kits range in the $500 to $600 area, but it is possible to add them to your car. There are sevral companies which make true plug n play kits which work really well, and are fairly easy to install. If you cant afford the cost of True HID, then the next best thing would be Simulation HID! If you go this route and buy bulbs for your car, make sure you get higher than stock wattage bulbs to compensate for lost lumens due to the loss in the filtering process (the outer blue tint on the bulb serves as a filter). But be careful as some bulbs can burn your plugs. I have a pair of MTEC 4X bulbs! These are really high quality bulbs and didnt burn my wires. BTW, Im selling a pair of Autooptiks Sealed beam conversion kit for camaro. They are pretty much new, I only used them for a day, and then installed a set of custom sealed beams. $30 if anyones interested......
