Spyder Headlight Question

I have a question about Spyder Black Projector Headlights with LED DRL, are these lights bright as in HID looking? Or are they just like stock lights, just better looking.

From what we understand, SPYDER headlights come with standard halogens, although there used to be a variant with a cheap HID kit pre-installed. When we did a test fit on their headlights on our w204, it had one of those cheap HID kits we quickly got rid of. You'll want to do an HID conversion with a quality kit regardless. Let us know if we can help with our Morimoto units.

So I can buy the Spyder headlight and replace their HID with yours?

Yes. The SPYDER units use H7 for low beams and H1 for high beams. HID high beams might not be necessary for you if you don't use them often, but that's your call.
