Mercedes E class lighting upgrade ?
i have a Mercedes Benz E280 CDI executive SE which i bought a few months ago, it does not come with the bi xenon headlamps (blue ones) instead it comes with ordinary ones which im not sure of their name. but i was wondering if it is possible to put on xenon headlamps as there some on sale for the e class even though it usually comes with bi xenons.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MERCEDES-E-CLASS-02-XENON-HEADLAMP-BULBS-HID-UPGRADE-/180321673463?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item29fc0260f7#ht_1632wt_1141 there is the link, and what is the difference between bixenons and xenons ( any colour difference), and would the light saet or adapters for the light support xenons/bi xenons. someone please explain because i have hardly any knowledge over lighting on a mercedes, thanks in advance, jimmy
HIDs are brighter than ordinary, but come in various colours.
Factory standard is 4300 K (Kelvin) - white with yellow tint. Easily available is:
5000K - pure white
6000K - white with blue tint
8000K - stronger blue.
For a road car, a colour above 6000K is likely to get you stopped by police regularly.
The difference between xenon and bixenon is the bulb type. Bixenon (h4) bulbs are both dipped and main beam in the same bulb. Others are a single dipped OR main. A quick check shows your car probably uses H4, so you need a H4 halogen bulb, or a H4 bi-xenon HID conversion kit.
The bulbs in the ebay link are NOT HID Xenon. These are just standard halogen filament bulbs that are a bit brighter and whiter than standard. They are called xenon as they use some xenon gas, but are not the same thing as HID.
A decent HID conversion kit will include bulbs and a ballast to supply the 20,000 volts the bulbs need - expect to pay around £130. (http://www.hids4u.co.uk/h4-35w-proplus-bi-xenon-hid-conversion-kit.html). You can get cheaper on eBay, but quality varies.
A Xenon Upgrade bulb (halogen) is a direct replacement for your standard ones. Ring, Osram and Philips all make good quality ones. Prices are around £24 for Osram Night Breakers (http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/H4-Osram-Night-Breaker-12v-60-55w-90-pair.html) down to £16 for Ring Ultra (http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/h4-12v-60-55w-ring-ultra-xenon-bulbs-plus-60-pair-with-free-battery-charger.html)
