Honestly Corona rings (AKA angel-eyes, halo) look good on one brand and Benz is not it.
Post up the beam pattern of the projectors, though.

+1 for the beam did you retrofit the projector or leave it alone. also i assume you have a h7 hid kit what temperature bulbs?
I will soon when it starts to get dark. I was thinkin about not running the halos. But i may change the color to neon green or neon red.
What a night and day difference in the look from frosted to clear.
About the xmas lights lol i have to borrow a ladder from the guy across the street when he gets home this weekend.

Putting halo rings in headlights is almost like putting a BMW badge on a car, in my opinion. People will disagree. But they are so associated with BMW (and so well done by them) that they just don't look right on other carmakers. LED running lights look fine with every carmakers spin on them, though, again IMO.
Damn i need to adjust my driver side headlight lol the beam was shooting in the sky.. Its sick the beam has like a purple or blue hue color 2 it.
Im about to go out after dinner i will take a few more pictures.
I left the projectors alone. i may mod them down the road. The light output is way better then my frosted lights i had b4.
The halos are pretty sick.. They match the same color as my HIDS.
I will say i hated the halos on a mercedes but these are really cool.
Dude at the gas station came out behind the counter to look at my car.. After i got done talking to him he wants me to order some for his bmw. Gave me his phone number and everything lol. Should be pulling girls numbers not dudes!
Hids are 6000k But now im thinking more of a blue color?

Yup, be careful with that. Anything outside of the color spectrum between orange and white will be risky. You should do it in orange.Originally Posted by TemjinX2

yeah most cops won't tolerate red or blue lights on cars. Every car i see with blue windshield washers or red neons get pulled over.

they look nice man.
Im not sure, but anytime Ive had a light out of alignment, the misalignment has been purely vertical, not diagonal. Im worried that the diagonal flicks of light may be a poor projection of the light. i think my worry may be confirmed since the diagonal flicks are faint and not more solid.
if anything it looks like the right light may be projecting a little low since the solid line disappears over the midline.
i dunno. good luck.
btw colored halo's not my taste, seems a bit ricey but itll be different!
EDIT: ya, right side is low... look at how the left spreads across the asphault all the way up to the wall cutoff and the right spread stops about 2/3 the way to the wall.

its suppose to be 25ft and the z cut off is suppose to meet he center of the projector or be 25inch off the ground from 25ft. Thats a horrible cut off unless your didnt position the bulbs all the way in.
Just go to hidplanet, there various diy on how to aim head lights and how the Z cut offs are suppose to match up.

here's a sample of a s2000 cut off as a example of the Z step i'm speaking of.

Yeah i like the color they are now. If you could see them in person im sure others would like them. Just a huge difference over frosted ones.
Maybe i don't have the lights aligned correctly as in screwed in? Ill check them out tomorrrow. I just really wanted the fish bowl =D

That step is huge. i'm not sure you can do much about it unless you open up your lights and make your own cutoff shield. I can't really tell but does the right side eventually go flat again?
Super Member
i bet the projectors that are in your headlights are replica valeo units that are found in some bmw and audi.... here's a pic of what they look like


My car had a small front end crash a while back on the driver side. Everything repaired but not aligned. If you look in my second picture at the driver side headlight you can see something is messed up.

looks good man. props for going to with the halos i haven't seen any on a benz. saw one on a lexus is a few months back and it looked sick. id go with 5300k for the non rice look but thats just me.
