Just wondering W0n6_3d4n. how did u remove it from the clear part? I thought that after you apply the clear coat it's there permently... unless you didn't apply one?

Use mineral turpentine and some very fine sand block to remove it, yes it will appear dull afterward, i just sprayed it with clear coat and it's glossy again.

Look good Frank! When I had my C32, I was amazed how much the bi-xenon added to the looks of the car. You might consider going 6000K or 8000K if you want a more "bluish" color to your beam. I personally like either 6000K or 8000K over the OEM 4300K that MB uses (even though it's brighter). Both 6000K or 8000K are bright enough for me.

theres a howto and removing the front bumper. from there you just unscrew the headlights and unplug then reverse order putting them in. there are 3 screws on each side if i remember right.
