Bi-Xenon Projectors Installed on my CLK 208

Ok guys I bought these projectors from ///MTechnik on the board and put them in my car the other day. They are cool as **** because the regular high beam works or you can use the bi-xenon flapper for xenon high beams....or you can use them both hahaha.
It took awhile to get them aimed properly but them put out such a nice pattern on the road without blinding oncoming traffic.

Those aren't the in-pro lights. Those are custom made by combining the front of a 208 light and the back of a CL light.

Actually you got it backwards.....you take the front off the 208 lights and replace them with the CL fronts. Then you have to modify the back of the 208 housing to fit the projectors in, but it doesn't seem like it was that hard.

I had to cut 2 quarter size holes in my rear covers to allow for the xenon ballast to light connector. the projectors are much deepr than the stock reflector but it all looks professionally installed and almost factory. The ballasts mounted to the bottom of the headlights like stock.

I'll get you guys some pictures tonight and post them in the morning.

no... W210 & W208 headlights are different... even though they look the same...

well, for me, I know ///MTechnik was the first to retrofit it...

I'm still on the lookout for the right spare parts to complete my setup...

To top you, I'm gonna have Bi-Xenon headlights, Xenon Highbeams & Xenon Foglights... .Muahahahaha

I feel sorry for ya if you are in front of me at night...

I think with my extra ballast, I'm gonna install a Xenon Reverse light cause the tint is making it hard for me to see ***** behind me....

HID reverse light would be cool, maybe you can custom make a switch so you can flash those tailgaters at night.
