Just installed them after sitting in my garage for a couple of months. Will have to adjust the beams but other than that i have no issues so far. I will probably also change out the high beams like i did with the AZN Optics daytime running lights, anybody else have pictures of all lights on?

hey, reviving this thread because there are so many of the subscribers to it, some of whom hired someone to put the lights in. I just bought Zeek's set, and I asked a local body shop for a quote:

W209 (aftermarket) bi-xenon lights coming soon....-headlightestimate.jpg

not a bad price man though it shouldn't take a body shop more than 1 hour do do the job.
But if it gives you peace of mind than go for it!

That looks to be a good price. Plus, if they scratch or jack something up, you're at the right place.

I've done the swap of halogen to factory xenon for 3 others besides doing it twice on my car. Takes me about an hour and its really pretty simple once you understand how the clamp that holds the bumper cover to the fender works. If you were able to watch them do the job you'd probably realize how easy it is. YMMV

Mercedes will most likely refuse to do the job. They don't usually install aftermarket parts in the shop and they will charge you a hefty fee too.

I would just go to a body shop. They have all the experience they need to get this job done since they remove bumpers every day

Really? The fender bracket is easy! Remove one bolt and then the bracket swings away. It's harder to remove the fender liner - it has both bolts and plastic trim keepers.

I suppose I might still have opted for the quads, as I got some info from Clkboi as well as the selling member...even if I preferred OEM I doubt I would have justified the price, but I'd still like to know how what I got compares to what I didn't...

Oh, and what bulbs are folks with projector lamps using in their city lights? in their fogs?
Man, I asked for some tips on that (above) BEFORE I got the lights installed, but it's too late now, lol. After the tech got them in we noticed that the the city bulbs weren't inserted in the housing, and it took him forever to get them in, the socket is sooooo long!

That said, what LED's did you use Mario?

hi everyone!

I am about to purchase the BLACK quad version of this. just wanted to make sure these will work.. i have a clk 550 2009 with the factory OEM bi xenon

here was simon's response...


The headlight's size and shape will fit the bi-xenon model, and according to one of our previous customers, the main connector will plug right in too and function fine, but from factory, it has total of 3 wires from the car on each side, only one is plugged, the other two is left un-plugged since the other two are for the auto-leveling which the quad headlight does not have such feature, so if you are ok with that, it will work according to that customer with bi-xenon from factory too.

has anyone with FACTORY bixenon installed these yet (minus the auto leveling feature) gotten these to work?

My Xenon's on my CLK55 are really hazy, I have tried resortation kits and detailing but they are still bad... I am considering purchasing these as a replacement so let me know if you have any issues or malfunctions!
