I see what you mean now, thanks.

How do you adjust the cutoffs? When i'm driving at night, I don't notice any problems with the lights, appears to be spread out even.

you can't adjust the cutoff itself... maybe you can adjust the light horizontally and vertically
or just raise the right one just a bit and you can have 2 cutoffs

Quote: What's the purpose of an upgrade if you have to keep the old bulbs connected? Aren't there resistors for that purpose to defeat the error sensors?

I want something that's plug and play, any suggestions? Thanks for the feedback though, appreciate it.

My CLK is 2009, is it the 9006 or H11?
original bulbs are used like a resistors hidden under the bonnet, probably your car should be h11

here it is mine, with led bulbs
parking (W5W)
foglights (HB4):

Any questions or comments?
fantastic!

only you have to change parking bulbs to match xenon color with something like this:

What happens when you turn on daytime running lights?...In the current halogen set up from the factory, it lights up the main headlight, but it is dimmed?...can't do that with xenon lights.....xenons are either on or off....can't be dimmed....is there a separate bulb for DRL?...

How do you install both the OEM and LED bulbs? Isn't it only one socket? I may have to go that route since no one else provided me with another option.

I can't stand seeing the halogen city lights with the xenons. I stopped using my foglights because of the yellow color. I may upgrade them to HID with ballasts to match my 6K xenon headlights.

original foglights bulbs are hidden in engine bay closed and fixed in a little electrical box, i wired the original bulbs in parallel with new led bulbs to use it like a resistors, obviously original bulbs has the correct value to fool the check-sensor

xenon on foglights is not the perfect solution, because it takes some seconds to reach the temperature, i don't like it on foglights, i think led bulbs are better

Quote: news.....................when are headlights available on ebay?
Last I heard was within 3 weeks and that was a week ago. I been getting alot of compliments about how nice the headlights looked. The 550 has the standard AMG sports package and I since added the LED/smoke tail lights and these dual projector headlights, I even had a few who thought I had a special AMG CLK model. ( I recently debadged my CLK so people not familiar with CLK's don't know what model it is....)

For $400, it was a good deal. Now all I need are city lights/fog lights that match the 6K xenons..........any ideas on plug and play ones? I don't want to have to keep my original bulbs plugged in as resistors.

the only solutions for foglights are:

- put led bulbs and use original bulbs like resisitors or trying to use a 50W 3 ohm resistor for any led bulbs;

- put on a xenon canbus kit, but remember that it takes few seconds to reach temperature and when you use coming/leaving home you see this, IMHO is not better solution for foglights
