Updated projector headlights for the E-Class

Our new projector lights from JleviSW are a direct replacement for your E-Class headlights, updating you car's visual and functional appeal. They are available in chrome, shown below, titanium, or black. I can personally vouch for the structural integrity and excellent quality put into these headlights. They are some of the finest aftermarket HID kits I have seen. We are currently selling these headlights for $250. Contact me if your interested. My email is sean@jlevisw.com

those lights were not viewed favorably by no_clue. I agree - they are not HID and uses
the mediocre H3 or H1 bulbs for the mains. So Sean....uhm.....what's up here
".....the finest aftermarket HID kits I have seen...." ¿

Sorry about that guys, we just came back from a meeting with a large supplier of Mercedes parts in LA and theres a lot of new product, pictures and information we are still organizing. I must have misread about the lights. I'm still uncertain what bulbs the headlights take, I havn't been able to make contact with our supplier. I should have that information soon. The same goes for pictures of the beam output. I'll post all that information ASAP.
They are not DEPO lights though similiar visually in style. What I meant about them being "the finest HID kits I have seen" was structurally the quality is excellent.
Also, the $250 cost is for halogen bulbs, although I do believe they come with HID bulbs if specified.
Sorry about the mixup guys I'll have more information and product details shortly.

those are not the DEPO ones, they are the ones made in asia and are of very poor quality. get the DEPO style ones and replace the lens with a better lens.

depo does not make the slats version, they only make the ones that look like OEM W211 and even all of those are not DEPO many of those are eagleeyes (which also make bmw elipsoids and also are not good quality either for BMW). The Depo bmw ellipsoids are great though. Depo for any car always makes decent headlights. the only real flaw on the W210 headlights seems to be the projector lens (as indicated by Zam the projector guru many times). hope that helps

I check back periodically, hoping to see that Nick posted wall beam shots,
as well as pavement beam photos...to get an idea of spread, cutoff and glare.
This has potential...but the devil is in the details. keeping my fingers crossed.

All DEPO light are made in Taiwan. The one In-pro sell is identical to the Depo one (they're the same). In-pro is a european reseller, they take the Depo unit, and sell under their own brand. The box says final assembly (read: put in box) is in Germany, but the light does state "made in Taiwan". FYI, Depo is the #1 light after market manufacturer in Taiwan, and they're the only that DOT approved when it come to light (bodyshop replacement parts).

Notice that Depo also produce tailight and "regular" headlight, which body shop use. I don't think any of their projector-based headlight is DOT approved, none out there neither.

For that box-in-Europe, In-Pro would be happily to charge you another $200-400
