Please Help!!!

[nkctb7]

I took apart my entire front end to clean its entirety when installing black projectors. When I was finished reassembling it, I realized that I had forgotten two pieces and for the life of me, I cannot remember where they go. Any help in identifying these pieces and where they are located? Thanks.

Sorry for the thread jack

Thank you to everyone as I appreciate the help. I was fortunate to pick up a set of brand new black Projectors that retail for over $550 for only $158 shipped. I could not get myself to pass on a deal like that. Here is a few pics of the Projectors and the MHW black tails. The genuine MB (Bosch) Euro amber corners took me over a month to track down as I wanted the genuine MB (new) amber corners from Europe. They were NOS in the original MB packaging. The flash made the tails appear light but they are very dark. Please excuse the absent grille and minor paint flaws as I have an Avantgarde (Matte Black) grille arriving from Germany any day now and I am having paintwork done on the front end soon.

Cheers

It looks like the projector is only for the high beam, is this correct?

The lights were off when the pics were taken and it was due to the flash that makes them appear lit. I have the Klight HID kit with H7's installed but I need to order H4's in order to for them to fit in the projector housings. The projectors came with all four bulbs for low and high beam.

The inside bulb is the only one that is a projector, on the stock headlights the inside bulb is the high beam.

H7's are your low beams, they don't fit in the projector housing because that is for your high beam...

P.S. do us all a favor and remove the BS badge

Ahh, good notice,, i didn't see that BS Badge, it's nice looking sporty style.......

ZAYED,,

Lol, the badge was already removed this morning as the C43 and AMG badges are now matte black. Gotta love that PlastiDip for experimenting without permanently modifying or damaging anything.

In regards to the projectors, they require H3 bulbs and the high beams require H4 bulbs. The stock H7 low beam is in between both, in terms of the diameter size of the base and are not compatible with these projectors. These projectors are however, able to run HID's as the lens is a sufficient distance from the ends of the bulbs. A common mistake that is made by many, as the length of HID's are far greater than standard bulbs. When they are installed, the distance from the lens to the tip of the bulb is greatly reduced, causing the lens to melt. Even though HID's run cooler than standard bulbs.

Sorry guys, pics are coming as I have not forgotten. The weather has been very windy and rainy the last couple of days but it is supposed to break up later today. I will make time to post some later.

Cheers

[nkctb7]

Here is some better daytime pics of the projectors that I promised. Matte black Avantgarde grille arrived from Germany today. I will upload some pics tomorrow after I install it.

Cheers

[nkctb7]

Here are the some daylight pics of the MHW black tails as well.

[503C43 ////AMG]

The head lights don't look that bad, I am interested in seeing a pic of them in action. Where did you get them?

The tail lights on the other hand don't look so hot but that's just my opinion.

The tails are much darker in person and for some apparent reason they turn up quite a bit lighter in photos. Regardless, I am starting to grow tired of them and may go back to the stock tails soon. Good thing that I always keep my original parts. I have to say though, that the quality of the MHW tails is superior to the stock tails. They are quite a bit heavier and appear more durable.

I appreciate the feedback. Both negative and positive.

Cheers
