Bi-Xenons Look Depo Projectors Installed :))

I finally go my Bi-Xenons and installed them yesterday.

It took about 2-3 hours all up thanks to the DIY instructions and i didn't remove the whole bumper to put them in.
Also installed 6000k HIDs, they look awsome.

Heres some pics:





I Hid the HID Ballasts behind the bumper so there not visable in the engine bay.



Tucked away all the wiaring.

Looks great, how was the install for you? Did you have to adjust it? When I installed my DEPOs there where kind of off so I had to adjust them. Thinking about putting 6000k fogs?

Good choice, the car looks much better than the frostie headlights.

What is that purple thing for?

Thanks, the Install was pretty straight forward and easy. Just take some time to do it slowly and not to break any plastic clips etc..

My depos are pretty level, the purple line is the vacuum line that plugs into the headlights. This is for the pneumatic level switch in the cabin so i can adjust the level/height from the factory levelling switch inside so theres no levelling screws on my headlights.

Looks sharp!

How are the lighting patterns and particularly, the beam cut-offs? Using 35W or 55W? Any lamp failure messages?

Thanks guys,

I drove it last night and it lights up the road pretty well, Alot brighter then standard and i can deffinatley see further then the stock lights.

The cut offs are the same as what te stock headlights are and have a blueish/purplish cut off line.

Im Using 35w 6000k HID's, there are no error messages. The Bulbs are phillips. There is a built in resistor inside these balasts so there is no need for external warning cancelors and no dash warnings come up.

Javvy, rather than double posting you should do a search, there is a thread probably about 100 pages long titled DEPO EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...bout-depo.html

and would be looking to do the same upgrade juts gathering some information
to gather information, please do search, and research, and when you are left with questions after actually reading information, then you may ask

and yes, you get headlight assembly and HID kit, put the HID kit into the new headlight assembly

I baught my Depo headlights from this place below, but i am from australia and its a local Australian shop. But im sure they can ship to you.

http://www.carwear.com.au/Mercedes%2...C%20Class.html

These are depos with a additional HID kit plugged in, there is no need to rewiring anything. the KIT kit is plug and play and takes 2 mins to connect in.

The High beams stay normal halogen, i didn;t really see the point in having a Xenon high beam.

Here is a link to the DIY on how to install new headlights without taking the front bar off.

Yep, the light pattern is correct:
