Finally finished the retrofit headlights for my c230
Started these a long *** time ago... got lazy and never finished them. Roommate got a car with hids and I remembered what I was missing.

Honestly, not sure. I started them about 2 years back when I got the car... did all the install of the projectors themselves, etc... spent about 4 hours this weekend in finishing them off... attaching the bezels, doing all the wiring, etc.

Mll....
I scored a set of those outer housings (just like yours) but they're not projectors. (just clear).
How hard (really) was it to do the retrofit?
Could you write up a step-by-step DIY for this project?
If it's not too much of an undertaking, I may do it to this set (which are in pristine condition) before I install them in my car.
Let me know, puuuhlease.

Not having pictures taken along the way makes it awfully hard to do a good DIY. Check out the forums over at hidplanet and you'll likely find lots of DIYs for other cars. The concepts are all the same.
