Headlight question

Got my hands on a set of 2004 e500 headlights cheap which have the bixenons. I was wondering if there is anyway to convert my 2004 clk500 headlights into bixenons using the parts from the e500 headlights?

Do you currently have xenon on your CLK? Otherwise, you would have to graft the projectors from the W211 onto your car and find a place to mount the ballast etc. It might be cheaper and definitely easy to pay a little more and get the CLK xenon housings (which I have done). Then all you would have to do is remove your bumper and swap the entire housing, drive down to your local indie shop or dealer and have them reprogram the lights.

I think you should sell the 211 lights and use the money to by some 209 xenons used.

Only the C55 lights. No other W203 lights will fit.
