Going from OEM HID to Depo modified HID (e55AMG)...
hey guys
I am thinking about ditching stock system and going to DEPO w/ aftermarket HID xenons (6000k). I would like to get the DEPO's but i wanted to make sure my stock wiring harness could support them. Is the stock wiring harness the same for both HID and halogen or is it a completely different system. thx for the help guys.
P.S. OEM Xenon headlights up for sale if anyone is interested, make me an offer.

And if you use the projector from car like BMW or Audi, with 4300K, you would get lot of purple hue color, and lot of light. Don't go 6000K, lost too much light (almost 30% less than 4300K).

I've been running the Ultinon 6K's and love the color. They are bright enough for me, even in the IE
BTW
I have a new pair of Depo year 00 - the lens already removed. Like a dumbass I bought the wrong model year. These are new, never been mounted and ready to mod. Lemme know if interested.

I might be interested in your OEM Xenons - give me a ballpark and i'll try and needle you down
. Do you have photos of them? Seems like the Xenons held up better to the weather, but i wouldn't mind seeing their condition before dolling out the $$$. Where are you located?
