my first mod, 8000K HID for the entire front!

Hi, I had this C300 for about a month and put on 2,000 miles so far. I love it!

I went and got new HID a week ago and I really like it.

8000K brows, headlight and fog.



ps does coilsover void factory warranty?
i have 100,000 miles warranty and im at 40k right now.

I'm pretty sure it would. By lowering a car you change suspension geometry, possibly would need re-alignment afterwards to compensate for a drop. So new suspension while make the car handle better is not up to factory standards/specifications.

I like the lights. Are the main headlights are factory HIDs or you changed them as well?

Kinda have to agree with you.
5000K is probably the best for illumination and a clean look. 6000K is getting a bit too blue and 8000K is getting close to purple...not to mention the decreased light output.

I wouldn't worry much about voiding the warranty. Only issues directly related to the suspension modifications will not be covered.
