2012 C63 AMG Bi-xenon

Hey Guys,
Back again with another question...
I purchased my car without the lighting package and have the regular halogen headlights. I added the hid kit to my car but it seems to blind everyone. I am looking to purchase a set of bi xenon aftermarket headlights .... anyone know of a good set to buy?


thanks!

Just spend the $ and do it right the first time. Do a proper projector retrofit and don't look back. I've had a few cars done by Lightwerkz and the work and customer service has always been amazing. Highly recommend.

I had both the professional retrofit and the depo headlights. The light output is not greatly different between the two. The professional retrofit is a true bixenon with a nice hid cutoff. The depo lights have a nice cutoff but not as crisp. Looks wise, someone who is not familiar with 2012+ c-classes will not know the difference. We would. Ultimately I would recommend to go with the depo lights. Easy plug and play for around $400.

OP, try adjusting your beam on a flat surface. The fix may be as easy as that.

Its not just about the sharp cutoff on the retrofit. Its overall brightness of light, wide angle of the beam spread, and more even distribution of output. But maybe I am picky.

Does anyone have experience with WinPower HIDs ?
My guess is that these are different than Depo and seem to be more expensive, better quality ?
