C230K coupe
Hi,

5000K colour is much suitable for night use, it is brightener than 6000k and won't disturb other driver that make other opposite side road user feel more comfortable.
It's made in China and just cost me USD$120 including shipping.
The band call "ROHS". Stuff come from my frineds trading company.

If anyone want, you may email me that i can arrange to ship you one!
and they have alot of model and colour for choose. just let me know what you want!


enjoy!!

Slim ballasts just relegate the igniter to a separate unit - so I'm not sure there's a ton of convenience to be had with those. That said, nice work on the 5000k choice.. pleased you just said "no" to rice.

Looks like a bumper off a w203 sedan. I think it looks soo nice but I don't think the bumper sensors do justice.

I'm thinking about getting hid's but after reading all these forums I decided I need mtec hid but from a site so I can get a good pair. I cant decide between 6000k or 8000k. I had 10000k on my old car but I don't want to spend 350 to get a ticket and have them taken off

Oh damn! Because I love that bumper I was considering eventually swapping it. How much do they go for?

I'm pretty sure OEM will be pretty expensive...but then again I think its so rare that it would be hard to find oem or replica..
