C63 507 Edition DEPO Headlights (HELP)
I recently bought a 507 Edition sedan to replace the coupe, I love it in every way besides the fact that it came with the factory HALOGEN Headlights... I had ordered OE+ DEPO Headlights from HeadlightsDepot and they came in and fit well and look as it they were like the ones one my old car! My only issue is that I can't seem to find a HB3 9005 LED Low Beam Bulb that will shine bright enough to replace the crappy yellow bulbs that came with the headlight. I know this is quite steep and I doubt there will be any answers. But I'll take all the help I can get. I ordered a set of LED's for the low-beam and it throws an error code due to the LED's having lower voltage and no resistor attached.
First link is to the error inducing dim LED low beam bulbs that claim 18,000 Lumens

I haven't used LED headlights before, but I've messed with several Xenon (HID) kits before and have had good (and bad) results. If you go with HID, do your research and get a set with high quality ballasts. I've found that cheap ballasts will make even a great set of bulbs have poor output, both in terms of Lumens and color temperature. A good set of ballasts will give you OEM like output. Also, OEM color temperature for HIDs is usually 4300k, not 6000k. 4300k gives you a more OEM white light and more usable output than 6000k, which tends to be a bit blue.
