some more pics, I would aslo include some night picture at later today and FYI the lights are in white not green that were shown on the picture, didn't understand why my camera made it turn green???
I did the best already on the wiring since it's not factory xenon is very difficult to hide all those wires!

wow... it really shouldn't cost you that much to make it... end result looks good tho

i figured it woulda cost me about $600 with all parts for bixenon+ time to make..

now that i'm selling my car, not sure if I still plan on making it... but might just do it to see if I can make a good one

believe it or not the most expensive part was the STOCK Headlight if you minus the headlight it would be about $600 but you can't just take out your headlight and drive for 3 month

well, right off the bat, your list prices are a little inflated...

*****snip*****
CLK halogen headlight pair $450 off ebay
CLK Xeono headlight Glass only Pair $100
McCulloch HID kit H7 $300
*****snip*****

I bought my pair of Xenon headlights from ebay for $450. I didn't need to buy halogen headlights & the top glass & another HID kit on top of that... right there alone, you could have saved $400

I think you've done a great job.

It looks nice and I wish I was talented enough to take on projects like this.
