Arrow Anyone W 05 C230k Ss Adapted Xenons From Other Companies?

HAS ANYONE WITH 05 C230K SS ADAPTED OTHER COMPANIES XENONS TO THEIR CAR?
I HAVE HEARD OF IT DONE BEFORE AND AS A MATTER OF FACT I ADAPTED AN ACURA SYSTEM OFF MY FRIENDS CAR INTO MY 99 C230K AND THEY LOOKED GREAT. RELIABLE LIKE CRAZY TOO. I HAD PIAA FOG LIGHTS THAT BURNED OUT THREE TIMES AND STILL THOSE XENONS HAVE OUTLASTED THE PIAAS AND HAVE NOT BURNT OUT. AMAZING? bUT THAT WAS THE 99 C230K

THE SALESREP AT THE MB DEALER TOLD ME THAT THESE NEW 05 C230'S ARE VERY RARE WITH XENON'S 1 BECAUSE THEY ARE EXPENSIVE AND TWO BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BUY THEM FROM MB IF THE CAR DOES NOT ALREADY COME WITH IT. THIS IS BEACAUSE PEOPLE WERE STEALING THEM LIKE HOTCAKES.......... COULD YOU BELIEVE THAT? I GO TO SCHOOL IN NEWARK, NJ ONE OF THE CITIES WITH HIGHEST THEFT RATE AND BENZOS AT LEAST BACK IN THE DAY WERE MOSTLY UNTOUCHABLE. GUESS THINGS CHANGE HUH. ANYWAY, I'M WONDERING IF NOW YOU NEED THE ENTIRE LENS AS WELL TO DO THIS. I HOPE NOT BECAUSE I GAVE MY FRIEND 200 BUCKS FOR XENONS 2 YRS AGO AND BELIEVE ME 200 IS ALOT LESS THAN $900 FACTORY OPTION. I WOULD DO IT AGAIN IN A HEART BEAT.

BTW -TODAY IN THE NEWS I HEARD LEXUS OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THEIR LIGHTS STOLEN THREE TIMES WTF
ONLY IN NEW YORK/NEW JERSEY WHAT ELSE CAN I YOU SAY

You can buy Bix for our cars. The Coupes cost 900-1500 bucks. The Sedans are like 1100-1200. Having just installed a set, I can honestly say the finish, design, materials and build quality on the MB Bix lights is INCREDIBLE. Way better and nicer done than Lexus, BMW, or Audi.
