Led housings running HID?

Just wondering if anyone has done this setup? I have 2017 c300 bought used and had everything I wanted except it came with dreaded halogens. My thought was I could retro the led housings in. From other threads here I see there’s some option but I also see that the LEDs aren’t necessarily the best lighting. So my thought was getting some used led housings and installing HIDs in them and just wondering if anyone with the experience of doing the retrofitting of the led housings have done this or if it’s even a possibility due to how the led bulbs mount etc.. any help is appreciated thanks.

oh I just meant Mercedes selling vehicles with halogens is crazy.

I think i saw a few posts on upgrading the halogens in here.

There are also aftermarket headlight sets on ebay. Some people even open their headlights and insert projector housings like morimoto mini h1.

yes I agree why it’s even an option is beyond me but unfortunately wife loved car and I was tired of shopping so I settled. I hadn’t even considered doing the mini h1’s. I did those on our motorcycles. Might buy an extra set of halogen housings to do it on though.
