Just Installed HIDs in W203 w/ frosted headlamp
Just installed it today.. Couple of pics...
In the first pic, that's the comparison between HID 6000k and halogen
In the 2nd pic, I purposely aim it low so the light doesn't blind the incoming traffic.
The 3rd, it tells you that the light is right below the front car's mirror, so it doesn't blind them.
Thanks for looking!

For Reflector headlight housing, because it's not clean cut off line, it will still blind ur incoming traffic. But on the other hand, u get very bright and satisfy light. I wish my Bi-xenon is as bright as my Frosted Reflector + HID light tho =/

damn, another HID thread ?!?!?!
Lights look good
i have to say i love the output from the frosted, you can see EVERYTHING, but so can others. I must say tho i havent been getting as many flashes as i usually do with mine. I just could not risk getting projectors and using my HID, and melt the damn things after the one post where dudes black 203 burned to the ground. Just not worth the risk. Tho a face lift would be nice. Imma just wait till my dad gets sick of the c55, then bix here i come !!!!!!!!!!

European cars in general tend to have sharper cut off lines than American cars. DOT regulations allow for more light output above the cutoff area than Euro-spec. We have a lot of rural roads in the US, and road signs that are high up in the air, therefore needing more light above the cutoff.

I am planning to buy the 06 OEM clear headlamps.. Does any one know whether the light output will be better compared to the stock frosted one? Any pics (HIDs in 06 OEM clear housings)
