Hey guys,

I just bought a CLS 55 with 39k miles last week and im really excited about it. However, the original owner didnt get the zenon package. I was wondering what i can do to upgrade the headlights that wouldnt be expensive but still look classy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks...

 

Either get new headlights with bi-xenon or stick with halogen.

 

so basically there isnt a relatively inexpensive way to make the lights not look so dated. I looked into bi-xenons and those are a couple of grand, does that sound right? What do the 3000k HID fogs look like on your 06 55. Please send a picture, if you got one.

Just buy after market HID and plug those suckers in. I get them for about $120. Unless this is not possible for this car but i wouldnt see why i have seen other MB with aftermarket HIDs

 

I believe the standard CLS55 has xenon headlights?

 

they came without Bi-xenons???? whaaaa? someone show me a pic.

 

In 2006 the bi xenon was an option, i also have halogens on my 2006 cls55. I bought an hid from a forum sponsor on here tspny... i was planning to get it installed cuz i cant stand the halogens on this car. Are yiu saying an hid kit wont work with this headlight? I was told the hid kit would work.

 

HID kit will work but the lighting compared to bi-xenon won't be good. The light will "bounce" around a lot when driving. It is like spackling make up on Kim Kardashian, it looks good but still damaged goods and useless.

 

LOL yea but she aint famous for her face.....that azz is

You would have to also get a kit that is CANBUS compatible.

The HID kit is just a low-cost option, as djrabbi is saying. Probably not the best solution, but seems cost effective for $100 + install. I think that the install may cost you a bit though since these CLS headlights are notoriously difficult to remove based on my experience.
