i just recieved a set of these lights yesterday and am getting them installed today. i am also adding an 8000k hid kit to the low beams so we will see how these lights perform. anyway, as per quality, they look really good. the shipping package was phenomenal and i am impressed at how they resemeble the bixenon OEM lights. i will post pictures after the install if possible but im excited to get these in since i hate being without my xenons and my projectors

But again, not bad at all for 400 bucks (but do go authentic when possible

you got OEM MB BIX and the dealership installed it for you? b/c i got a set from Steve and they wouldnt touch it. obviously they still consider it aftermarket (which it is). maybe my dealship is just **** about everything. i know that i bring my car int o have the breaks checked for squeaking and they keep telling me nothing is wrong or they cant hear anything at high or low speeds which is complete BS. anyway, i needed to rant. anyone else have the same ****y service?

Someone asked me to install a set of DEPO's on their 203 and the quality is not near the original Hella units. The rubber around the headlamps kept coming off, connectors are a bit tight, plastics are cheap. You get what you pay for.

These are the CHEAP $400 "alternative". As long as they work once they're installed, who cares?
