Not good????

I wonder why he's sending them back. Imagine if there's a huge recall on these headlights O.O

Yeah, I'm thinking they recalled them. All of a sudden, no one has them but the few that wants to price gouge $100+ or take your money and not have them in stock. I will wait. I was ready but I'm not taking a chance with the questionable sellers that have the left overs.

Maybe they're actually doing quality control and they want to fix the shutter stuck issue

Yeah, I'm hoping that's the case. I'll just wait to see before I pull the trigger.

On a positive note, maybe they didn't expect it to fly off the shelves. and they are just making more

I hope it is just the shutter issue. I have a brand new pair of these sitting my room waiting to be installed. If it's just the shutter issue I don't really mind.

Agreed! I have these, morimoto hid kit, and own illuminated star waiting to be installed. I have a appointment for the weekend to do it all at once

After reading through all 11 pages. I'm tempted to do this to my pre-facelift 2011 c300. Since I need a new hood anyways I don't see why not take a chance. If anything I can resell it to one of you guys who wants them..right?

The picture of the car now is at the bottom

I feel its going to be more than just a hood the headlight bolts I believe are different also. If I recall the video we all used to swap the lights was a pre facelift and I remember the bolts upfront being different slightly.

Thank you very much! It took awhile to get all the funds together to get it paid Ted since I had to source a lot of parts to repair the car but I like the end results. And if the headlight works too then the new model hood will look great with everything else

I'd just like to post an update on parts4euro.com. I ordered a set of headlights from them and they did not come with HIDs included like they state which was the only reason i bought from them in the first place. They have ignored my e-mails regarding this matter and I will not be ordering from them in the future. I would just like to let everyone know do not buy from them if you are expecting to get your lights with HIDs installed like their description says.

Sometimes they don't always update it. But keep your fingers crossed

Just looked at their site they are sold out.

Installed mine tonight with Morimoto 5000k HIDs, fitment is about 98%! Had to align the projectors after installation as the cutoff was way too low, but it was no problem. So far so good! also installed Depo clear LED sidemarkers, they work well also, only thing is i get the error message saying they are out if i turn on the lights with the car off sometimes.. but the error goes away when the car is on. No idea what that's about. the lights come on regardless.

P.S. My car is plasti dipped for the summer rains here in florida.. so never mind the blue..

I ordered from them and then an hour later it said out of stock. So I called them the next day if they can fulfill my order. They said I got the last pair

The type of bulb used won't affect the cutoff.

The projector and projector shield control the cutoff.

no hurry, last time fishcake told me their next shipment should be around September, they are back ordered and it takes time to make them.
