2011 E350 Coupe HID Xenon or LED Lighting Help

Dear Forum,

I have a Black E350 Coupe with halogen head lights and high beams and round fog and day time running halogens.

Can anyone help me find HID Bulb kit?

I've already got Xenons on my E Coupe and C63.
A couple years ago, I did convert my C300 to Xenons using the conversion kit from Philips Lighting. With the conversion kit, you will not get the self leveling or cornering lights. You are simply converting a halogen head light assembly to xenon bulbs.
Their tech support is excellent.


Kit included bulbs, balasts and wiring harness. $300+/-. I did notice that accessibility to the lights on the E is much better than on the C.


You can buy cheaper, but you will sacrifice quality.

Thank you NC Bob. Did you buy from directly from Phillips? Do they have a website to order from?

Sounds like an awesome upgrade for $300. Was it simple to install yourself? I would be grateful to see your before and after. Hope your new lights are great. I read the Philips HIDs are made in Germany. They are well revered on the Lexus forums.

I think Philips is a Dutch company with a large presence here in the US. They are OEM suppliers to several auto companies.
Once again, I installed this system on a C300, not an E.
Difference in visibility was noticeable.


Here is the site I used.
http://www.philipsxenon.com/


I would call them first to confirm what they have to offer is exactly compatible with your car. My experience with their tech support was positive.
They sent me a video on how to install the light system. Also, there are several posts here discussing Xenon kit installation.
Buy some zip ties to secure the harness.
Fairly easy install. The E has better accessibility than the C.


Let me know if you need additional info.
Good success.
Bob
