Where do you get the "black boxes" for the headlights to work?

It an old thread but Chris never ceases to amaze me. In the market for something new from my W211 and was thinking I would go W219 CLS - yout thread just changed my mind. Sheer genius.

From down in South Africa

Wheels aren't my cup of tea but the car looks good.

Chris The Swede

And your common wheels in horrible black is not my cup...

Car is sold since way back now and actually the Wheels is the only thing I was not 100% happy with.

Hey Chris,


What rims did you have originally in the first pictures before the modifications?

Chris The Swede

Veritini Monaco.

stealth09

Thanks, and I take it those were 20" you had, correct?

Chris The Swede

No. 22" of course. 20" looks tiny on W221. Or you mean the AMG ones that the car came with?

stealth09

Yea I mean the Vertini Monaco ones you had on the car.

I'm rather late to this party but very impressive Chris!
You've given me a ton of inspiration, more so than I know what to do with.
Right now I don't have the guts to do anything to my CL but I sure am hoping I'll be able to leech some know-how from you experienced MB owners!

Chris The Swede

Thanx..Just let me know if I can help..I see we are in the same region..

stealth09

So Chris were those Vertini's 20"?

Chris The Swede

No! Always 22" for W216 and W221.

If I had a penny everytime someone asked if you're rolling on 20". ;-)

Something

Chris, you had to disassemble head lights and fog lights to replace LED strips? Or it's just camera auto white balance effect?

Could you be so kind as to post the name of LEDs you have used, xenon bulbs, and those that are in mirror caps.

Original LEDs has yellow-green shade and I am looking to upgrade mine, from 5k to 7k.

Looking straight forward to your reply!

Chris The Swede

disassemble ? All in front is OEM exept the main hid that is 8000K. The mirror covers are the LED ones you find all over ebay.

Something

DRL looks completely different. So it seems camera changed its white balance. The first photo is more realistic with yellow-green shade. Do you think it's possible to solder new LEDs and don't lose factory look?

Chris The Swede

First photo is a phone and second is a proffesional camera. I Think it looked more like the second photo. It was not that yellow in real Life.

Is your CL65 fast? V12 Bi-Turbo? Any kills or challenges?

Chris The Swede

It was ridiculously fast. Took some Porsches and Ferraris with it.
