Very nice. Looks pretty close to bi-xenon. How is the illumination on the road compared to the OEM bi-xenons?

thx AsianML,
i haven't checked the illumination at night yet...
by seeing at the garage, it is definitely whiter/brighter than OEM...

Looks very very nice!! Do you have any pictures of the installation? How long did it take you to fit it? I bought a kit myself for my w164 but was advised by a friend who happens to me a MB-mechanic, to return it because he said its not fit for a MB. Being desperate I later ended up buying some 100W xenon look alike halogens, which look okay but of course not as real xenon lights.
Im not very good with my hands so Im really interested in how "easy" the installation was, then perhaps I can install it myself. Any help would be great. Thanks

thx! no, i didn't take pics during install... it took about an hour to do install... i'm not good with DIY either and did not do installation... kit will fit W164 w/o any problems... just take it to a local shop who have done aftermarket HID kit installs...

your HIDs look sick.. my friend Bipasha493 did his xenons from philips and its got a facotry look. it would look so good on my ML i want to get the same bulbs or maybe 6k but I am tryin to find a part # and where i can get them at i went on the site but no luck but i got a link of where to buy .. i called pep boys and they said if i can get them a part# theyll order it.. any idea where i can get them for the ml i have xenons now.. i just want to get the bulbs which i think are callled d2r or something along that line... but anyways your xenons look great..

Have you compared these with the OEM bi-xenons? And do they glare as a lot of the kits do?


Sorry for the questions!! I'm just so curious, they don't look like those fake HID knock off kits that you normally see.

i haven't compared with ML with bi-xenons... but i did w/ my C which has bi-xenons... except for the height difference between the two, i could not notice any differences...

Pioneer AVIC-D1 Installed

Got Pioneer AVIC-D1 DVD navi, XM/NavTraffic module, iPod integration kit and rearview camera installed last weekend. Also installed Interfire 500W 2ch amp and 500W 12" Memphis subwoofer. Not a great name brand but fits my budget and does the job that I want.

Forgot to take pic of the camera, but here's the rest.
