Dam! What type of Camera are you using to take those pictures?

The lights look really good, now match the fogs!

After the installation, any error messages on the computer? or was the kit plug'n play? cause I thought you need to go to the dealer to change the bulb setting from reading the prevoius threads Car looks great btw!! Love the HID lights!!

Trunk spoiler, definitely.

Roof spoiler, not until you have rims and drop.

yes, great pics. but dropping an HID kit into halogen projectors will never
result in good beam pattern. invariably, w/o changing bowl and/or projector
lens, you'll end up with a huge hot spot in the middle with depreciating light
drop off in flattened, oval fashion. would love to see the beam pattern to
see if you lucked out an ended up with a nice beam.

Hello Untouchable08,

I would like to find out some more about the light kit and where you purchased them from. Can you give some more details.

Regards,

What about an '02 that has the frosted look lenses???? Is there a kit that changes out the lenses to the clear ones as well or do I need to buy the whole works for an '05 or '06 from the dealer???? Idea of cost for this???? I'm getting an '02 C32 next week and would like to change the lights. Thanks!!!

Oh, and awsome photos too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont think it is possible to just change the lenses but you can try ebay for a pair for alot cheaper just make sure the ones you buy arnt to cheap because then they melt.

You can't just change the lense, but DEPO makes a projector "bi-xenon" look a like headlight unit for around $450. Couple people have already tried it. They work and looks great. jtC320 has it on his car.
