Yup. You can either keep em, stealth those out yourself with spray paint, or upgrade to 7507 LEDs with w204 flasher units.

Everything you have can be swapped into the unit except for the turn signal bulb as SPYDER went with the international specs instead of North American specs. We use 3457 for our front turn signal bulbs in US and Canada, but rest of the world uses 7507. I have made a few sets of our front turn signals LEDs with 7507 base however so there is a solution out there as an option for those interested.

From what I've seen, the lower LED strip is the same as OEM LED strip you see on all MBs which is 4300K. 5000K will be a relatively close match.

So if I'm from Canada, what do I need?
Still iffy on how the LEDs work and if they are really daytime running lights , based on your pics they don't really seem bright during day....

Take a high temp resistant bottle of spray paint in silver/chrome/white and give the bulbs one quick thin spray. That should cover the egg yolk effect and still flash amber, although won't be the crisp flashing you have with your LEDs.

You'll just be paying the extra shipping charges as per the first post. I'll see about taking daytime pictures for you.

Are the headlight lens glass and how difficult is it to change bulbs in these? Huge fan of those wing/tab covers on the OEM headlights.

Hardened plastic cover, similar to OEM. All the bulbs are very easy to change out.

Same as light output going from halogens to HID on OEM headlight. And I didn't even think to check if the projectors were fresnel or clears. I'll double check get get back to you.

Once GB is closed, I'll contact all of you directly to give you payment instructions with SPYDER and they will let you know how long to ship (which depends on total number of units we end up selling here).

We've hit our 11 unit milestone. Price is now $345. We still have 3 days left in the GB to get up to the 20 range with 9 more buyers to drop the price further.

They work as your current lights do for DRL with the bottom strip LED tied to the eyebrow LED. The first couple pics show what it looks like during day light.
