Whats a good bi xenon conversion kit for my 95 E320. I usually use ddm but i am not a big fan of their bi xenon setup. Any suggestions?

The only place I would consider getting parts from, and the work would not be easy.

The good: The 'color' is consistent and our projectors offer a nice (not quite perfect) cutoff. Still, no problems with oncoming glare (no oncoming traffic flashing). The so-so: The passenger light still flickers on initial ignition (I've mounted the ballast away from the SBC and have replaced a ballast). Also, I have to turn the headlights on first then start the ignition in order to avoid the 'right low bulb malfunction' (passenger side) warning on the dash. My kit was not bi-xenon as HIDs were not an installed option.

Site looks very promising Saijin_Naib. Product seems very high quality and their bi-xenon setup has proper high beam setup

Apparently all the parts are sourced from the OEMs, unless otherwise specified.

You can get the actual E55 Bi-xenon lenses, ballasts, and bulbs. The shrouds I think aren't OEM however.

Just ordered the H7 Morimoto Elite 5Fives kit with CANBUS. I'll post a review once I receive and install. Thanks for the recommendation.
