Color temp is not really a concern as you can't avoid rice at the point you put halo headlights on a Benz. But I have 4500k HIDS in my car - I like the most illumination possible. The S2000, TL, and TSX all have amazing projector HIDs, btw.

they flare up on the right to illuminate signs, if your wondering. It's not really a problem, it's the way its designed. If it really bothers you, you should take it apart and get some flash aluminum and make your own glare shield. Doing this might even widen up your light spread if you put a nice curve to it. If you ever feel like doing it, let me know and i'll try to help you through it.

I know I will get flamed for this, but why do people on this board like to rice up their Benz? I just don't get it....Mercedes Benz is suppose to be Sporty but luxurious at the same time. You start adding crap like that, you might as well get a Honda.....Just my opinion...

The step is built into both lights. Its also lower on the left side so that oncoming traffic isn't blinded.

The reason ppl upgrade there cars is because we don't want them all to look the same. Everyone has different taste
Pictures will come soon i need to see how to change my camera settings to take pictures at night.
I have the halos wired to my city lights so it looks sick when i have my fogs/city lights on.
I didn't have time to adjust my lights tonight i was 2 busy working on my front rims
Let me mess with my camera i should have some more pix soon

+1 I once drove a TSX and was like "Damnnnn this light output is sick". Mine is a F- compared to the TSX. The cutoff is dead on..can't get any better.

Work on that alignment.. you should be able to make it better with adjustments.
As for my car looking like I lease it, which I assume applies to me as well,
! Everyone has different tastes, yep.. most of them, poor.

Matt doesn't like modding a Benz at all and I respect that. Some people say to me "Japanese wheels on a German car huh?" but I like them. We're all different and those lights might look good to some and might not look good to another. I for one hate BBS wheel with all my guts. I think they are played out and everyone has them but some people swear by them....to each their own. Speaking of wheels I wanna upgrade to Tommy's wheels
