I had the dealer set my xenon setting to "present" long before I got my bi-xenons.

Hey guys email our good friend MBenzNL (Steve) from the Netherlands at s_krabbenborg@hotmail.com

He's got everything euro, just email him.

I'll take pics of my turn signals aswell... the bulbs are bluish yellow, but light up amber and it's stock in Europe.

You could also purchase these bulbs at www.autowerksdirect.com. I think I saw some over there.

Where you get the grill and how much is it? Is it easy to install yourself?

The second aftermarket grille is a great improvement on the first aftermarket grille. I think it looks quite nice. I'd stick with the stock one myself, but I'm boring.

The new lights are nice too.

But, why do the gaps between the lights and the hood & fender seem to be so huge and uneven? Are the lights mounted properly, or was it a bad angled photo shot? Just wondering...

I do have to play with the fitment somemore. It does not fit as nice as the factory ones.

I atually think the star in the MH Dezent grille is way too big, but that's just my opinion

How do you like the new CLK or the SL grille Jim??

I know my car does not compare... I think the sports grille looks good too... The MH grille is just hard to find...

The UK versions are the same as euro versions except for the lightpatern that has an upward going angle at the left instead of the right.
Jay has got euro spec headlights (not UK Jay; otherwise you would blind all uncoming traffic!)

The US bi Xenon pattern has less light uotput as the euro ones.

euro pattern

US pattern
