Retrofit questions

Hello i just purchased a mb certified 2012 c250 black with sports package, multimedia package, rearview cam, and keyless go with 20k miles for 30,800 out the door. i really wanted the lighting package but dealers were being outrageous with their prices when i found one. kind of hard to find! so i just settled for this deal because i thought it was a great buy. i want to retrofit my headlights to have projectors and L.E.D strip turn signal. if someone could let me know where i can purchase the kit so i can have a local shop install them i would greatly appreciate it!

Its not that easy, you need a lot of new expensive parts as well as plenty of new wiring.

I'm not trying to get the oem lighting kit as much as I would love to. I'm trying to install projectors in my stock headlights. Sorry for the confusion guys!

I would ask the guy in this thread. https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...-retrofit.html

You could probably source most of the parts from theretrofitsource and then get an HID kit from AZN Optics. You'll probably spend a good amount of time with all the labour. If you check other forums you might be able to find retrofitters in the area who might be able to do it for you at a price.
