NEED RECOMMENATIONS-help!

Hi,

I'm new to the forum, and I have a 2003 w203 wagon, and I want to upgrade the old headlights. Anyone have any recommendations?

Buy some Depo Halogen Projectors and retrofit Bosch E46 Bi-Xenon Projectors. I haven't finished my retro but the E46 are supposed to be direct bolt-in why I chose those.
Do your own research but I bought my Depos from a MB World sponsor UniqueSRacing and just bought the regular halogen without the ballasts https://www.uniquestyleracings.com/i...product_id=217. I bought the BIX, ballasts, bulbs, wiring etc from The Retrofit Source http://www.theretrofitsource.com/ If you keep your eye out TRS has sales occasionally through their Facebook page or through email. Total for everything was about $600.

There are lots of options. You can even just get '05-'07 lights that look better. Then you have choices of halogen, xenon and bi-xenon.
