Plain and simple a regular headlamp will NEVER look like an HID because it isnt one, and putting in a HID in a non projector lens just makes you a irriation on the road with all the scattered light from a bulb not designed for the housing, either find aftermarket projectors or bite the bullet and order HID housed '12 headlights.

Might I ask why so many of you didnt get HID when you bought the car being there brand new and the lighting pack is an 800 dollar option and not even a 20 dollar boost in your monthly payment?

Lucky US people, 800 dollar

Here i had to pay 2300 EURO extra for the light package.

And i thought that the FL came with projector headlights, but it didnt

Think you have normal led light, you need error free LED.

See AZN'S Thread.

With error free led the Message wont come ...

I put Philips Diamond Visions in the 2012 C and it matches the DRL LED perfectly and is decently bright (no where near HIDs but bright enough). I switched the parking lights to error free leds off of eBay. I had also tried the MTEC cosmo Blue and although the color was good, the brightness was not as bright as the Philips DV's. Hope this helps. Just a heads up, you need to search to find the Diamond Visions as they do not sell them in the US.

Can you post pics with the DIAMOND vision please? I ordered them for my E with standard halogens and want to see how nicely they match the LED's. Thanks

I can not seem to get a good picture that accurately shows them (just a blur lol). I will tell you that they match the LEDs that MB uses on the 2012 C-class DRL (and I think those LEDs are the same color as on the ones on the E and S DRL - if someone can confirm)

Because it will take a little bit longer if you want the lighting package. All the 2012 C (except the C63 AMG) in all the dealers near me doesn't have the lighting package.

Got them off of eBay (some seller in UK). Beware of fakes supposedly floating around eBay, if the price is below $45 - I would avoid. I know there are also a few online retailers that sell them too. No error light at all since you are swapping out H7 bulbs that use the same wattage...

I got the European version (should be the same as the Asian ones) but I trusted this seller more http://www.ebay.com/itm/360388737420...84.m1439.l2649
