SOUND SYSTEM/ Headlight HID DYI

Does anyone know where to get a link to install a complete sound system DYI for a 01 clk430. i am talking about taking off the stock deck, replaceing with double din navi, replacing speaker with component, and putting in subwoofer. also i know that we have 2 small stock subwoofer in the back deck, can i replace it with 2 6x9 with little modification?

and swapping out headlight, do i need to completely take off the front bumper, i am planning to put HID in both headlight and foglight, any susgestion or DYI. thanks

Yes, you can modify a 6X9 to fit in the back deck. And if your talking about just replacing the bulbs not the entire headlight unit itself then no you do not need to remove the bumper.

why dont you buy depo projectors?

as for the sound system. wasnt it a 6.5" sub in the back?
but the double din is very possible. a lot of the members in the 209 sections have done audio. speakers are probably 6.5" as well.

dont you just buy two sets?

1 set for low
1 set of fog. and turn them on using your knob?

im quite confused. think of the HID kit as a form of replacing a light bulb. it with it, it would act just as if you had new bulbs in your car. i'll post pics of mine after the laker-celtics game lol
