Peydidy,
What's new? Your build thread has been idle for a while; you must be saving up for something big.
Were the HID headlights difficult to install? Do you have or can you post or send me a quick how-to? I just order a set of Depo's off eBay for mine. Any installation help/tips would be greatly appreciated.
I emailed the seller and asked them whether I would need to take my Coupe to the dealership to get the Xenon=Present setting set and he said I wouldn't with their HID upgrade. I hope he is right. How did you resolve your flickering problem? Once installed how to do align the headlights? Thanks...

Awh man bad timing, I would have sold you my Depos there are only a few months old or done a trade for your stocks plus cash if you hadn't ordered yours yet. I can also sell you my 05 tails and my head unit and mounting kit and adapters if you would want those too. The Depos I bought would flicker but I got a error canceler for $20 off ebay any they work fine now, Having the dealer set it to Xenon=PResent would also work but most likely would cost more. I am not sure about aligning the headlights, I haven't aligned mine yet. Hows your coupe going?

I am *IN* for the 05 tails! I already purchased a head unit mounting kit from eBay; just still waiting on purchasing an actual head unit -- too many car projects. :p What's up? Why are you parting out your mods on your Coupe? Selling it? 
Maybe we can work out some kind of deal -- your 05 tails for my stock new headlights plus whatever is fair.
I found online articles on how to DIY align headlights. I tried to following their instructions and raised the low beams. I'm sure the shop that I had install the new suspension to lower the car 1.2" did not realign the headlights. I cranked them up so now at least I car drive at night and it doesn't look like I only have fog lights (low beams only when out as far as one car length ahead of the car). I haven't driven in traffic at night yet to see if I raised them to high and the other drivers will be flashing their lights at me as if I have my high beams on, but if so then easy enough to adjust downward. :p
PM me about the 05 tails.
Thx

The Final Chapter
Well I am sad to say that as of December 10, 2012 my C230 sports coupe has been officially sold and is now gone. It was a great car and I loved every moment of owning it. The new owner is planning on keeping it how it is.
I really was not planning on selling it so early and though I would have it for a few more years, but after I bought my CLK500 I just could see the logic of having 3 cars.
I wanted to say thanks to everyone on the forum for your help with my build and any issues that I ran into threw the way. I will still be around on the w203 and w209 section because I still have the c230 sedan and clk500 coupe.
Here is the last picture I have of it that I took at the bank right before I handed the keys to the new owner
Now that my C230 coupe build thread is coming to an end Feel free to follow along on my other build threads of my C230 sedan and CLK500 coupe. Here are the links (also in my signature)
