Yes. Just make sure it's a canbus kit. Let us know if interested as we have top shelf Morimoto units.

AZN Optics, can you pm me a kit price for my 2003 ML350 with standard projector lamps? Would like a bright white HID, not the blue-white, so would that be 4000K?

You'll want our H7 HID conversion kit.

We have these in three colors:

4500K: http://www.aznoptics.com/index.php?m...roducts_id=113

5500K: http://www.aznoptics.com/index.php?m...products_id=65

6500K: http://www.aznoptics.com/index.php?m...products_id=67

4500K will be closest to stock OEM xenons which is a soft white. 5500K will be a pure white. 6500K will be white with a slight bluish hue.

I ordered a set of Osram Rallye 65W H7 bulbs. The cost was minimal so I can afford to see if there is a meaningful improvement. In the end, I had to face the fact my stock halogen projector lamps weren't appropriate to a proper HID conversion, and I would require different headlamps designed for xenon bulb characteristics. Doable but expensive.

Although the focal area for halogen projectors are not exact for an HID bulb, it's not too far off. Many run HIDs with halogen projectors as you're still gaining significant increase in performance with decent projector cutoffs.
