Finally got my HID's installed.

Install went smooth, took about 45 mins to an hour. Very easy, with no error message. Here are a few pics, got caught in a storm right after the install, but i will get some wall shots when things clear up.

Yeah its coming together well for only having it 29 days from stock. Thanks for the compliments, and i agree, with cars, you should keep it clean, simple and classy.

Always gets the best results.

How was it in the snow? Did you get blinded with those 8K bulbs?
Which kit is it? How much was it?
I been looking on ebay, and there's some kits for like 120 bucks...
the people selling them have 99.5% good feedback, and they claim to provide a special harness to make it work with benz, no Xenon setting.

I switched my BULBS to 10K after getting sick of the 6K ones. The difference is not that much in my opinion and I think it seems brighter even though 6k suppose to be brighter via the light spectrum.

Haven't posted for such a long time

I'll throw some pics soon. Getting sic of my car. Gotta go E-Class soon.

No, not at all, i did the Mtech 8k plug and play, kits easy as hell to install, with no error message. Cant say that im disappointed at all. Also yes i will be getting the clear lense for the fogs also. Still scouting them online.

I thought about that, but i wasnt sure if the fit would be the same h7 bulb like stock, I guess i could just ask before i order. But you know how sometimes the projectors come with some little crappy light and not the same bulb fitment as stock. Any suggestions ?

I agree, Everything is going so smooth with my mods, Last thing i want to throw in the mix are complications. So yeah imma just stick with my current set up. It looks good during the day, great at night, so im not complaining. The bi-xenon set up is nice though. But debating if its worth it when i can use that money for some sideskrits or something. idk yet.

Yeah, I'm sticking with my stock headlights and HID aswell, don't feel like taking a step back with light output issues.

lol its funny, my led s-tails will be here today, i just checked my fed-ex tracking, so i will have pics of it tomorrow. Tint, im still debating, due to the strict laws in Slohio, 50% is legal, and that is like not having tint. on the front two, The back three can be as dark as you want, but the extra attention is not something im trying to attract. Still going over my tint option, liking the light almost mirror tint that comes on the lexuz trucks. Scouting a shop that has that tint.
