mine are working the same now..but i commented to the 2nd picture of crc901..its dangerous to make such connection..and what i understood; the lights works plug and play on halogen lights for US cars not for the European, its need software as i did to my car..but for semi led and full led cars it works plug and play also without any software for both US and Europe cars.
if not I possibly found a back up option. Fingers crossed. Thanks again for all your help and answering all my questions. |

sounds like he sent me the wrong pdf/instructions. Guessing it was the European version as Dralaayounis mentioned. He’s “getting” me the correct one... if it’s right I might pull the trigger.

Ask any car specialist in your country if he has the (star software) and if he can install it in your car..its easy process and i only paid about 150usd for the software.

confirmed 2 transactions with this supplier in the US for these lights from the same buyer for multiple sets... I will post an update once I get them everything is right, then I have a solid supplier now that can get them for anyone who wants them. |

so the eBay supplier didn’t seem to know much about the product.... but found a supplier that I just placed an order on. Product should be here in about 2-3 weeks. should be plug and play just like you guys got.

Haven't received the additional wiring yet, should be here by Wednesday... but gotta decide what I am gonna do. Whether I am gonna keep them and install them or open up a dispute as I have communication showing that they are supposed to be direct plug and play. A little pissed, but doesn't seem any supplier had these light direct plug and play as they were received by others previously. All sellers appear to have this newer version with the wiring that requires a connection to the battery. I did confirm the seller did sell 3 other sets to US customers (2 sets to 1 buyer) and they all gave good reviews from what I could see... so may end up keeping them and installing em. I will post after I decide what I am going to do. |
Good Luck Brother !!!!!!!!!

As much as I wish I could have gotten the versions others had gotten in the past, it just doesn't look like they manufacture them that way anymore. Appears the only model on these lights requires a wire that runs to the battery based on all of the sources I checked out. I will post pictures later on when I have. a little bit more time. |

Hi DiamondSilver! Very nice looking upgrade. They look like the headlights on coupe models. I’m a bit skeptical on buying a Chinese product and tempering with wiring as I’ve read before that there’s no such thing as plug and play and it could mess up your electronics. However I see you had led bulbs installed on your halogen lights. My professional electrician/installer told me it might be a bad idea to do so and that it might be rejected by the computer, yet I see c-classes with halogen-style headlights with bulbs swapped. Wondered what bulbs you used and how hard was it to install? Thanks in advance.
I had LED bulbs in my halogen headlamps for a couple of months until my 2019-style full LED units came in. The Amazon link for the specific bulbs I bought is no longer valid, but they were very similar to these: You access the halogen bulbs via a removable panel in each front wheel well. Once the panel is removed, you'll see the circular cap for each bulb recess on the back of the headlamp unit. Unscrew the cap, unclip the old bulb and pull out, then insert/clip the LED bulb in and connect to the existing H7 electrical connector. The only {optional} mod I made was to drill a ventilation hole in the caps before reinstalling to allow the cooling fans on the LED bulbs to expel heat more efficiently. The added light from the LED bulbs was nice, and I especially liked that they matched the color temp of the DRLs, but the halogen reflectors still prevented the lamps from throwing illumination down the road that was satisfactory for me. The light produced by the new full LED headlights is off-the-charts better. A literal night and day difference lol |

The factory halogen lamps for both low and high beam are standard H7 size bulbs. Replacing the bulbs themselves with LED units is not a difficult task and only slightly more difficult than replacing the halogen bulb with another halogen.

wow you’re quick to reply! This may sound like a silly question, but do you need only a total of two bulbs?

As for the headlights - what was your criteria of finding a reliable (if you put it that way) product? Or was it similar to basically playing a Russian Roulette and hoping the ones you get work?

No none at all. For halogen bulbs, the ECU measures the general resistance of the bulb circuit. As long as the LED bulbs have the same general electrical resistance as the halogens did then you should be okay. It was more of an educated guess. When shopping on Amazon I try to surface the products that have the most and highest reviews, then run each product through a seperate "fake review detector" website to see if the majority of reviews are from actual purchasers or shills of the vendor. A site like this can come in handy for that purpose: Fakespot | Analyze and identify fake reviews |

Has anyone with OEM Static LED headlights buy these and try them out? Did you run into any issues/problems? From the instruction manual, I can see that these pretty much work for ALL Euro/US styled headlights.

I recently purchased an aftermarket headlight for my W205 2016 C200, and I believe that my car has the Intelligent Light System (ILS) option. However, I am having trouble understanding the diagram that came with the headlight and need some assistance. I have attached some photos of the diagram and headlight for reference. Can someone please help me decipher the diagram and ensure that I am installing the headlight correctly?
Thank you in advance for your help! https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...5d2fa9948.jpeg module https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...c97462ace.jpeg adapter https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...840b61081.jpeg diagram https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...de149e07b.jpeg orignal |
Trusted seller or verified link
Does anyone have a trusted seller or link to purchase the multibeam headlights? I am so interested and I just don't know which seller is trustworthy.
Also, any updates on how the headlights holding up now it's been + 2 years since this thread has been created. Much appreciated |
