Off-topic a bit, but if I wanted to buy these, anyone have any idea what an estimated install cost would be from a shop? I know it varies significantly, but just wondering if someone had any guesses. I have non-OEM HID's right now.

Yes, they'll work as the wiring harness is the same. And adding aftermarket HIDs is easy as they also have the same bulb clip similar to OEM.

In terms of wiring then, will the headlight LED DRL be running as well as fog LED DRL? or just one or the other

The headlight LED is tied to the eyebrows so where your eyebrows are normally on, so will the headlight LED strip.

Looks like there's physical restriction there that cuts it off from extending all the way. I'll see if SPYDER can address this. I thought you made it clear you weren't interested in these anyways?

2011 - C-300 Sport 4MATIC - Palladium Silver
I just got these projectors in black for my 2011 - C300 Sport. I'm clueless about this whole bulb, led, hid thing.

Can someone tell me exactly what bulbs/led/hid kit I need to buy with this projector? I'd like to replace everything on that projector with 8000K lighting. I want get this all done on one install and get rid of those yellow OEM lights

If possible, please give me links for each part. Sorry clueless about this whole thing.

thanks in advance

This would be a downgrade from your stock bi-xenons.

No idea. I know SPYDER will be at Autocon next weekend so I'll hit them up and see what answers I can get from them as I've given up calling/emailing.

All of this cool pre-facelift stiff is almost making me wish I bought the 2011 I was looking at, instead of the 2012. My 2012 doesn't have the lighting package, so I'd buy these in a heartbeat if they come of for the 2012.

For some reason, and it appears that I'm the only one, I don't really like them. On our MB's anyway. Maybe it's just the photos, but I feel like they are the "blue" lights that so many older model Acura's, trucks, honda's, and the such change to, to "appear" newer/annoying/riced/ghetto, etc.. I see so many late model and newer cars with modified exhaust and 4" pipes sporting. I just can't get behind this movement and hate it when they are oncoming.
