Im interested in getting the H.I.D PIAA headlights for my stock 99 W202. Which size (H?) and wattage do I need to get and where is a cheaper source of buying them? (online etc).

Im sure they would look good.....aswell whats the size for the foglights (lamp next to headlight not bottom of bumper)?

Check yoou owhner's manual. It will tell you what types of bulbs you need.

Though I want to say H7's....not sure if its the same for 99.

Now I heard that PIAAs arent good....anyone want to confirm?

I want a xenon look without going all the way of the real thing.

Piaa's are the best of the aftermarket bulbs in my opinion.

Light output will be decreased, but the color of the lights will look alot more blue/white.

here is a picture of PIAAS EXTREME FORCE bulbs on my car when i had them a long time ago...

btw your car uses H7 bulbs, 55 watt.

dont get those PIAA. they DECREASE light output. i had them in my car i could barely see anything. waste of money if u ask me. i would get the xenon kit from MB only. Xenon retrofit kits = teh sux
light pattern is off, doesnt work well
