Could this be used for a simple enough conversion from PFL halogens to FL halogens?

Are there FL headlights with halogen and projector?

Are there FL headlights with halogen and projector?[/QUO
interesting!
does anyone tried it?

adro92

In one of the pictures there you can see both ends.

arikgo

it looks like it could fit
my connector in the car is 9 pins and in the headlight (depo
is 10 pins
does any one tried it?

adro92

After looking at some pictures of headlights and connector, it seems like these would work if you want to go from pre-facelift halogens to facelift halogens. Is there anyone with more knowledge that could confirm or deny this?

I might just have to order the adapters and a set of depo headlights and see it it'll work. If it does I'll get a new bonnet and do the conversion. But, would be nice if someone were able to tell if it would actully work with these adapters mentioned.

But it will be nice if someone that did the converation will replay here
because both of us are just confused ...

adro92

Well I won't need that if I go with facelift halogens

arikgo

if you go with halogen
you have headlights like this
-2011-Mercedes-Benz-W204-C-Class-LED-DRL-Projector-Headlights-Left-Right-/362102543213
Plug and play that you don't need any adapters

Hello, I'm new to the forum, for a frontal blow, I'm doing the transformation of a w204 1.8 g asolina 157cv from 2009 to facelit.
Thank you very much for the schemes, I already have orders the new PFL headlight connectors to make the transformation, I will install simply halogen headlights like the ones I was wearing in 2009
I have some doubts about the bonnet and bumpers, I read that someone made the change and had problems with the oil cooler, air conditioning ... and the new bonnet that change the fences, also that it was difficult to adjust the headlights, but I also have to change the supports and maybe I will not have any problems.
Can someone explain to me if they change the bumper brackets depending on the type of engine? What problems are there with the oil and air conditioning radiator and how to solve it?
I need to know to request the right pieces. Thank you very much and congratulations to the forum and its members from Spain.

When you change the bonnet (hood) and bumpers, you will have no issues with fitment. For the bonnet, I swapped over all the stuff underneath over. For the front bumper, you'll have to order all the plastic support brackets and stuff underneath. I made the mistake of not ordering all the brackets I needed and the bumper is extremely flimsy without them. Also, you have to order the DRL LEDs, which is pretty expensive from Mercedes. Wiring up the fogs, you have to add a capacitor in the wiring so it doesn't throw codes. As for the headlight wiring, it's just 5 wires you'll need to wire up. I would recommend getting the Depo LED lights instead of the Halogens because it's about the same price and you'll have a better looking style headlights.

[QUOTE = romeo291; 7716514] Cuando cambie el bonete (capucha) y los topes, no tendrá problemas con el ajuste. Para el capó, cambié sobre todas las cosas de debajo. Para el parachoques delantero, tendrás que pedir todos los soportes de plástico y cosas por debajo. Cometí el error de no pedir todos los soportes que necesitaba y el parachoques es extremadamente débil sin ellos. Además, tienes que pedir los LED de DRL, que son bastante caros de Mercedes. Al cablear las nieblas, debe agregar un capacitor en el cableado para que no arroje códigos. En cuanto al cableado del faro, solo necesita 5 cables para cablear. Recomendaría obtener las luces LED de Depo en lugar de las halógenas, ya que se trata del mismo precio y tendrá un mejor estilo en los faros. [/ QUOTE]

Hello Romeo, thank you very much for your prompt response, if you are so kind, could you specify more what do I need? because I was thinking of buying the bumper and the complete hood in a scrapyard, but I've been looking for weeks and I can not find anything from the facelit, so I'll have to buy the new parts as non-original spare parts. If you have photos it would be ideal, by the way I do plan to buy the DEPO USRs are the closest thing to the originals and very beautiful.
My doubts:
Capot: Do they change the visagras, locks, anti-noise panel, hydraulic, or I can use the 2009? Bumpers: I understand that it refers to the fact that you have to carry the inner reinforcements of plastic, the cork absorbs impacts and all the moldings, but does it have any problem in that it hits the radiator of the air conditioning or the oil cooler?
The lights that the bumper carries are for daylight, where does it take the fog lights? Or is it that LEDs also act as anti-fog lights?
Thank you I already knew from this forum that depo headlights are enough for 5 cables. regards

Hello again, forgot to ask if you also need to change the lower plastics covers carter (has 3) and the reference depo foci of leds, although here in Spain I would have to approve them and pay quite high rates. Greetings and thanks,your Class C is really beautiful

Hi mate, I tried to install 2011 facelift lights to my 2010 c220 w204 which has 10 pin adaptor looks like Auto mode is not working and the LED lights are not bright! any help much appreciated.
Regards.

romeo291

there was two wires for parking lamps on my wiring. I wired both of them to the "C" LED and it made them brighter. For auto-mode, not sure why it's not working for you, do you have the high beam and low beam wires mixed up? Maybe try swapping them.

Bouncer-01

Thanks for the quick reply mate, I got them all working today :-) thanks to you. But now i'm having another problem passenger side fog light "led" bottom side of bumper flashed few times and went off not working! don't know if the light needs to be replaced or bad wiring? and parking sensors not working! I used the harness "wired for sensors"came with facelift bumper but there was no connector on the bumper to fit so i cut the connector from my damaged old bumper and joined it to facelift wired "8 cables" and connect it to car to power them up but no hope so i just left it for now as i was running late to work ;-) any idea mate?
Regards.
