I'm not in a situation to organize a group buy right now, nor have I ever organized one. If someone more experienced with this kind of thing wants to organize a group buy, I can list 5 people who are interested right now.

You wouldn't need anything else. Remove the plug from your original headlight module, plug it into the new module. There's videos on youtube on how to replace headlights too.
Oh cool.

Thanks for your help.

Wow, they're really coming down in price. Can you see any difference between the two? Look like the second has xenon bulbs and ballasts pre-installed.

i have a set of depo projector headlights in my jetta. Do not expect the low beam's light output is as good as the stock bi-xenon. It's more like you put in HID kit in halogen projectors. It's not the best light output but it does its job.

The only issue I have with these is they haven't shown a picture of them on a 2012-2014 C Class that they claim to fit on. The pictures they have are of C63s. Can you even get a C63 without the lighting package? They are under the 2011 model on Deop's product page. If anyone gets these I'd love to see pictures.

None of the C63 photos are of their product, they are mercedes stock photos. However, the headlights in the C63 and regular FL W204 are the same. These ARE the correct headlights for a FL W204, only question I have is on their quality.

Wow, I'm impressed. I am not affiliated with the seller in anyway but this looks way better than its counterpart with a huge C.
The only thing missing is the MB and ILS around the projector. On my 2013 W204, I observed the low and high beam bulb(s) are on the same projector. Not sure if there is only one bulb in there controlled by a shutter to switch between low or high.
The angled halogen in the middle is supposed to be for adaptive lighting. Wonder if it is designed to function the same. But nah, it couldn't be for high beam because it is angled as you can see.
Sounds like a plug and play but I would like for the seller to provide installation/wiring instructions and bulb type if I have the need to purchase.

Can anyone verify the coupe and sedan use the same lights? The listing says so but I am not sure if this is the case. I am planning on ordering a set but want to make sure they fit. I am assuming the bumper cover has to come off for install??

They do use the same lights. The bumper cover has to come off a bit, but not entirely. Pretty much identical to pre-FL removal.

Looks pretty good at night IMO, blinkers are really bright, and it's better than the crappy halogens without projectors

If anyone is interested I have 2 pairs!

Can someone who has installed these please post pictures?

Also, it appears that eBay fishcake is no longer selling the type with the hid/ballasts already installed. I could organize the alibaba group buy if anyone is still interested.

Please read before asking question I posted that if you message Fishcakes and ask him to sell you a set with Canbus HID's he will. only thing you will have to do is unplug the oem headlight and plug these in and place the ballast were you want. And there has been many pictures posted but here is some more. Not trying to be a dick but if you read through 3 pages you would have seen all this.

Actually there were no pictures posted above, and what I found online did not match the exact lights we have been discussing above. So thanks for posting, and I'm really upset that you seem to be annoyed.
