Was free today so took some pics

Only engine mods are Kleemann pulley, K&N filter and OWS spark plugs. I am pretty much done with my car cept i'm waiting for my brabus illuminated door sills and brabus door pins to come in. Like many of you guys, i would love to have projector headlights but sadly up till today, no one has made them. I would like LED tail lights also but no one makes them as well.

In case you are wondering, i didnt put on a bodykit coz there are too many speed bumps and multi-storey carparks that have very steep slopes in singapore. But if i could, i would get a brabus bodykit.

Oh and i cant afford brabus brakes. They are way TOO expensive.

Did you do the tail lights yourself?

whats the thing hangin off ur front window>?

gianfranc

Thanks! The smoked effect of the tail lights are actually dark stickers and are stuck on the exterior. There is a professional company that does it and it is really cheap (abt US$15). The best part is that if i wanna take them out, i just have to rip off the stickers.

I believe you are talking about the grey device that sits on top of the dash correct? That is a unit where I insert a prepaid cashcard for payment for parking and entering congested areas in the city centre where payment is required. A machine (either at parking places or place in a gantry above the road) deducts cash from the cashcard in that device. Makes life a little more convenient.

Very nice, I like it alot.

Nice clean setup.

ThrillKill

Very Very nice. I thought that thing on your dash was a missle guidence system. Now that would be a great mod.

Thanks guys for the comments!

lol yah that would be great to blast those dastardly traffic cops.

anyways, i have always wanted to say this.....your projector headlights look damn good! have you made them for anyone else?

ThrillKill

Thanks. No, I wish I had the time. There are some guys on hidplanet that could, but most of them are unfamiliar with MB's. The problem is the cost. We all know the cost of even used headlights for our cars. Now add in the projectors, ballasts, ignitors and bulbs plus labor. It's really a do-it-youself, labor of love kind of thing.

Nice ride Gianfranc. I really like the smoked taillights. Do you think they ship to the US? I'd really love to have stickers than to actually paint the lights. By the way, I have friends and family in Singapore. Know all about those parking devices and the traffic cops. PITA.

Thanks man. Nice to know you have family here. Well, actually i could give either one of your friends or family members in singapore the number to contact the group of guys that install such stickers on tail lights. Then they can buy them and have them sent to you. Only thing is you have to cut the stickers so they fit your tail lights properly. pm me if you need any info

In your personal opinion, which make of car produces the projectors with the best throw? bmw? which car are your projectors from?

I don't think i can use my OE xenon lights if i change to projector lights correct?

could someone post pics of projector headlights...

Mine are Hella Gen4 from an Audi. I tried to stay with German parts. Very good setup. If I were to do it again, I would probably go with Acura TL Bi-Xenons which would give me double hi-beams (although oem would be halogen).
Nothing on your oem setup is salvageable. In fact you will have to dremel out the bulb socket to install the projectors, which is why I say if you have the time and money, you're better off buying an extra set and taking your time to do it right. Good thing is, with MB the wiring is so good that we don't need to use a harness. Japanese wiring cannot handle the increased load without the use of a harness so the electrical on ours is basically plug & play, or more accurately, splice & play.

hey yah it's not easy to find others like ourselves in our part of the world. maybe coz these cars are so expensive here.

anyway, why don't you post some pics of your car?

gianfranc

wow thanks for the info. think this is a project i will consider pursuing in the future. but i do need both time and money.

search ThrillKill's previous posts and you will find pics of his projector lights
