Thanks for the reply. Just tried it out. Looks pretty nice in terms of color but I don't think it was dark enough for me to tell. I think I'll just get a pair sometime at the end of the month or something. Not really in a rush to change these. What I really want to get done is the painted tails, and black vinyl roof! I still haven't heard back from Promax/JSDesignFactory on a day I can get it done though. I guess I'll call em tomorrow. But yeah. Thanks Mike.

Painted tails you'll have to talk to Anthony, but should be able to bring it in anytime. Black roof you'll have to coordinate with John and yeah, he's always slammed, but just keep calling him lol.

Okay. Well I'll probably call/email John one more time and see if I can arrange something for the end of this month or just go sometime. Otherwise I might just work something out with Don Nguyen seeing as he's closer to where I'm located for the roof. I'll probably just get the grille/taillights painted at Promax.

Here is a kinda crappy picture I took right after I put them on. It was getting dark and I only had my phone for a camera. I will try and get a better picture on later, but you can see that the LEDs and HIDs blends nicely with each other.

Well Mike, I took out the LED that I said stopped working, rotated it 180 and put it back in. After tapping it a few times, it worked so all is well.

Silver C63 2009
AZN's 5000k white LEDs installed. My first DIY. I needed to buy $6 needle nose-pliers for the driver's side because my fingers started to hurt trying to pull the orange thing out of the housing. The needle nose pliers made it SO easy.
From the DIY pics, the shields on the C350 that are supposed to be removed in step 1 are not on the C63 (or at least not on my c63), which confused me for a good minute. Anywho, final results: they're BEAUTIFUL! Thanks AZN! Hope they last long

Looks good, but C63s should also have the cap. If yours are missing, then someone took em off your car while it was in service or whatever. I'd actually recommend purchasing a new set of caps as it'll help prevent moisture from getting into the housing and prevent condensation on the lens, which can also lead to rust on the LED and connector, and obviously, moisture and anything electrical don't get along.

And yeah, needle nose pliars, especially those angled ones, make removal really easy.
