Does any one know if our Headlight Bulb replacement is either

D1S

or

D2S ?

Has any one switched out the lights in our xenon for a whiter color?

Any help would be appreciated!


Thanks!

[bobblehead]

D1S - if you are replacing, try Osram CBI .... no yellow tint to it.

$175 for a pair (US)

Hey Alex!! I just switched my low beams on Monday with 5000k D1S bulbs. No more yellow tint like the stock xenons, just PURE white. They also match the angel eyes perfectly now.

Install is easy:

1- Jack up the car and turn wheel all the way to opposite side. ( You don't have to jack the car up, but it will definitely make it easier and save you from busting out hudini moves just to get in there)

2- Remove two screws to open the little door on fender lining.

3- Remove cover where the D1S bulb is located.

4- Make sure car is COMPLETELY off, no power going to headlights or anything.

5- Unplug the power plug connection located on the bottom of D1S bulb.

6- Twist bulb counter clockwise and remove.

7- Swap out D1S bulbs and re insert and re connect plug.

8- Put everything back together and repeat on steps on the other side.

9- Enjoy!!!

Thank you. No codes right?

[EL MEJOR]

does anyone know the different bulbs for the F10
HIGH, LOW, FOG? I want to do HID and want to order the right bulbs. thanx

[bobblehead]

Your 550 - High/ Low is the same bulb - bi-xenon - D1S as mentioned

If you go HID fog - people ususally go for 35watt - althought the Msport Fog calls for 55watt halogen.

[BaLLzZz]

What company is everyone using for the best xexon match? Regular bulbs just swap for fog/corner?

[blackberrycubed]

where to buy the Osram CBI 5k bulbs from?

[bobblehead]

The retrofit source store.

http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...oducts_id=1674

http://www.theretrofitsource.com/con...h2kvbaal1hgsnb

It's NOT listed on the website online store but if you email (and/or call) Matt, he will reply back to you in a day or 2.


You can also order from UK or Germany but the going price is pretty hefty ... $145US EACH.

http://www.powerbulbs.com/xenon-hid-...at1=37&cat2=75


Another source you can check is to goto your local Mercedes Benz dealership, ask for the D1S bulb for the 2011/2012 S Class or CLS Class in which they have been fitted with the Osram CBI.

No just the fog/corner forget about the primary hi/lo xexon

Where is everyone buying the fog/corner matching lights from or what company will I find if you dont readily have a website available?

[bobblehead]

^ For fog: with Msport - H11 - I think you have to go with something around 5000k, something like MTEC

http://www.motivemods.com/MTEC-p/mte-cb-h11.htm

I tried it before, did not like the end result. I took them off as they seem to have odd purplish/whitish/bluish hue.

Currently, going with yellow ... Piaa Plasma ion yellow. See post #12

As for corner, I haven't done anything ... not that useful as it does not stay on while driving.



If you REALLY want to match the stock hid light & angel eye, go LED. Found one set and Made in Germany. Around $500 for the pair.

You mind telling us where you got your pair of bulb and how much you paid?

I have a guy on ebay claiming the ones being sold by theretrostore.com are fake knock offs since the wholesole price on those bulbs is more than what they are asking for (175 for the pair) and is saying the ones from theretrostore are most likely coming in plain white boxes rather than the retail packaging....

[bobblehead]

I still have not bought this Osram CBI yet. but here is a glance from Youtube ... Please note the bulb in the video used is D2S NOT D1S for our F10

[bobblehead]

If in doubt, there are other online vendors, mainly UK sells them with the Osram box .... for example, this site in UK, sells for $270 US for a pair (Incl. shipping)

I got my 5000k D1S bulbs from DDM Tuning. I paid $50 for a pair. I used the their HID kits on my previous 528i and never had a problem and I am now using their D1S bulbs and am very happy with them. If you ever have a problem with the bulbs, just keep your receipt and they will replace or refund your order. Talk to Manny, he'll take care of you.
