She's a beauty...yeah lower it a bit...that would be the finishing touch. When I had my CLK430 I went with some lowering springs (H&R's)...I miss that baby...black with red/black interior.

Thanks everyone, I am actually waiting to lower the car because we're living in an apartment complex where the drives are a little steep. One of the reasons why I had to get my front bumper re-painted. As soon as we buy a house this puppy is getting slammed.

Night pics to follow, on and btw, the HID are 6000k. I am also thinking I should have had them remove the CLK320 decal, which I might ask them to do when I goes back in to get the clear bra installed on Monday. As well, I am getting the side markers tinted with a single coat, don't want to get into too much trouble with the law.

No lights:


City/driving lights (I so need to disable those bulbs and I now see how the halos aren't as bright as I wish they were, oh well):


Low beam and fogs:


Fogs:


HID ballast:


Wiring job (this guy rocked the installed):


In the pics it looks like the lows are on, but that is just a reflection of the flash. Sorry all no hi-beam posting, the picture became completely washed out and couldn't focus because it was too bright. Why do you ask? Well I've got 6000k HID in all bulbs.

Oh, and the most important information which I forgot to add. My Service Advisor told me that the new E63 has the same bulbs as those ones we hate, and they are as close to white as you can possibly get to. He has some on order for me and all the guys at the dealership Hopefully this gets rid of the yellowish that the stock bulbs put off. I don't think he's pulling my chain, because he has a retorfitted w210 wagon and he's getting those bulbs for his car too.

I took some better night shots, now all I need to do is take some pics against a wall. I plan on doing this tomorrow in the garage at the office. I tried to take some pics with the hi-beams again, but they were WAY too bright.
