I bought a HID set from Bosch and is very satisfied with it upto now, but have not yet been out on the roads, when it is really dark.

macclk, when you got your lights, was it set for RHD already?
anyway, after browsing through so many pics on hidplanet on what a good projector output should look like, i must say that im very satisfied with the light output! really surprised that the beam is focused and the edge of the beam pattern has a rainbow effect that makes it seem like a 'washer mod' (check hidplanet.com) has been done to my projectors. way better than my OEM xenons. im using the latest philips kit with 6000k d2s bulbs and ballasts which are really thin.

This is a super fun car and the desire to transform it to a customized MB is addictive. Check out my "Snow White Ground Cloud".

macclk, thanks so much! yes i can see it clearly in the pic. going to ask my shop to adjust it tomorrow since i don't think i'll be able to reach it easily as the lights are already installed.
will take pics of the output once they are set right.

hey macclk, just installed the lights, and i am quite happy. The thing is did you change your sidelights - they use a different bulb to the stock housing. But I am unable to remove the sidelight bulb due to space issues- any help?

yeh i think mine is different - they require the wedge style LEDs - not the same as stock. But im unable to remove the citylights....and as for the intensity issue that is always the case - when i had LEDs in my stock with my HIDs, you could hardly even see the citylights

Thanks!! I have no idea yet. I like the Reiger kit, but I'm not sure if it will cover the horrible crack. Any suggestions on something else besides the Reiger kit? I will eventually lower it, gotta get new tires first though, those are gonna be a bit pricey. The hazard of having 19s!

oh ya, for the Carlsson RS bumpers, how bad is the fitting? I mean cuz I have a friend that is going to have his friend install everything for me and paint whatever needs to be painted.
