Zenon Side Lights

[Knockout1211]

I have a 54 plate E class and have Zenon lights but normal side lights.
Can anybody tell me if i can get Zenon side lights so they are both the same brightness. They look great but the standard, dull, side lights are not so cool.

Thanks

Andy

I don't believe you can get xenon side lights, the bulbs would be too big.

You can get hyper-white, xenon look sidelight bulbs though.

Try here (the site is down at the moment but should be back up soon)

I had xenon lighting on my last E Class and assumed they would be standard on the S Class - wrong! So I got them upgraded - turned night into day.

The specialist who upgraded them also upgraded the sidelights, so I put your question to him with the following response:

"With regard to the sidelights, there are several approaches and we have tried them all. LED bulbs bring unwanted complications because of the confusion caused to the ECU's on the car, and have proved to be unreliable, probably because of all the pulses to the supply. Instead we have found that xenon gas bulbs with blue glass (to filter out the yellow elements of the light) give totally reliable results and look the part. I've attached a pic".

Couldn't paste the picture, bit it shows a side light bulb with blue glass.
